About Guatemala

The population of Guatemala, as of July 2006, is 12,293,545. Guatemala is located in Central America and borders Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. Guatemala is the largest and most populated country in Central America. 56% of the population lives below poverty level. The average age is 18 (41% of the people are 0-14). Approximately 75% of the people are Catholic and many of the Mayans have their own religions.  There is such a need to teach the people the word of faith and victory. Not only do we desire to teach them about God and His love, but we also want to demonstrate it by caring for the orphans, providing medical and humanitarian outreaches, and training nationals in the Bible School. So, they can reach beyond, to places we will never be able to go! What a great opportunity that lies before us! We are so thankful to GO!
