Members of our team recently returned from Guatemala, where they helped build homes for families in need in partnership with Paradise Bound Ministries. Here’s what a few of our team members had to say about this transformational experience: “Overall, the trip was life-changing. I felt humbled and grounded by the situations they were living in, and it helped me regain perspective in my own life. If I had the chance to go back, I’d do it 100 times over again.” - Tristan Kerr “It is impossible to go on a trip like this and not be impacted in some way. Stepping out of our comfort zones and daily routines, serving others, and filling our days with prayer is a wonderful and incredible opportunity and gift that we were provided. I am so grateful for the opportunity to go to Guatemala and serve in this way by building houses for those in need.” - Matt Zimmerman “We built 5 different homes for 5 families who were all related. We included them a lot in the building process, and they even helped decorate the inside of the home by painting with us. They were overjoyed and over the moon happy with the stability of their new home. ” - Hanna Rhoades We’re proud of our team’s passion and the difference they make in the lives of others - here in west Michigan and around the globe!
