Guatemala Trip Interest Meeting

Tuesday, May 5 at 5:30 pm | IOHUMC

As a church, we believe we’re called to go — to make disciples, to build relationships, and to come alongside the work God is already doing around the world. From November 1-5, we’ll have the opportunity to do just that as we visit our mission partners, Transitions and Christ Child’s Nest, in Guatemala. Our time will be spent serving, learning, and supporting their work in whatever ways are most helpful.

If you’re even a little curious—whether you’ve been on a trip before or this would be your first—we’d love for you to come and learn more. This meeting is simply a space to hear the vision, ask questions, and explore what it might look like to be part of this experience.

Email Sara Fullerton at sfullerton@iohumc.com if you plan on attending.
