2025 Guatamala Work Trip


Here is a link for the Trip Application for our 2025 June work trip to Guatemala.  As you know, we will be traveling with a youth team from Salida Presbyterian Church in Colorado, but Newnan will have a separate worksite.

You will notice on the trip page that there are opportunities for people to support the trip as Virtual Team members (blue box).  People who are unable to travel but would like to support the efforts can be Virtual members.  They will receive email updates and photos daily during the trip, and weekly until the project is complete.  (NPC was a virtual team member on Josefina's home last July).  


There is also a yellow box where people can donate any amount.  Any donations of $250 or more will automatically be added to the Virtual Team.  
Their $1000 deposits should be made by check and held at the church until we have 6 team members.  Dec 31 is the deadline for the first 6 team members.  Others can be added after that.  

Blessings,
