Who? Crossroads Mission and ENGADI Ministries:
• Crossroads Missions is Clayton King’s ministry to connect students to global trips. Crossroads is organizing the trip for us.
• ENGADI Ministries is run by the missionaries who live in Guatemala City. Their purpose is to provide a safe and nurturing environment to youth, who have been trapped within the cycles of poverty and violence, helping them to achieve their full potential in Christ. They believe all children deserve the chance to pursue a brighter future, and they strive to make that hope attainable through community wide services that include education, home construction, and health education. They strive to identify youth with a drive to succeed and to support their growth as mighty men/woman who will value family, love God, and change their communities for the better. They serve spiritual, physical, and intellectual needs and help overcome long-term issues by encouraging them to pursue Jesus.
