A Middle School Outreach
Chichicastenango, Guatemala — Twice a day hundreds of uniformed students flood in and out of the INEEB/INEB middle school where two groups of students study — one in the morning and another group in the afternoon.

God opens public school doors
On the edge of the town of Chichicastenango there is a middle school. This middle school holds morning and afternoon classes (technically it’s two schools: one in the morning, one in the afternoon).

Last week, we invited the teachers over …

Values with a strong foundation of faith are values that endure. We are excited to partner with a rural church that is just outside of the town center to help take Bible-based values to a local elementary school. Guatemalan pastor Juan Peliz and his wife Evelyn have hearts to reach their neighbors with Christ. For …
Bible-based values for schools
Chicua III is a small community nestled in the hills about 30 minutes outside of Chichicastenago in the western mountains of Guatemala.
