Mission Trip FAQ

Consult with Maritza, our team coordinator to determine your budget. Your budget will help determine the project

We are always getting involved in new projects that can strengthen the local church. In determining what projects we get involved, the following questions serve as our criteria.

• Does a project create dependency that stifles local initiative?
• Can a project be sustained and duplicated without the ongoing financial  support of foreigners?
• Does a project assist or compete with other ministries?
• Are we duplicating efforts where there is not a need?
• Does a project strengthen the on-going ministries of the local churches?

While we make every attempt to pair teams with projects that fit the member's individual gifts, we will not get involved in projects that undermine the long-term goals and initiatives of the local people. We desire to support the local church in ways that will produce long-term solutions and are sustainable without on-going dependency on American funds

We encourage those in charge of planning short term mission trips to start with a generous project/materials fund amount and build the budget from there. Contact us for more details.

Check with the airlines for the most up to date information.  Currently, Guatemala allows entry to the country with either a negative COVID test (within 72 hours of travel) or evidence of a COVID Vaccine. 

The quick answer - No.  While Missions Frontier works with and supports several children’s homes, we don’t encourage team visitation.  For the long term health and stability of the children who live at the homes, we try and keep team involvement to a minimum. If you are interested in working with children, there are a number of other opportunities where you can help.
