The Adventures in Missions Guatemala team is based near Antigua. Together, the 19 staff members (Guatemalans and Americans) have created a healthy community that pours into young people as they themselves have been poured into. They are in demand as a group of teachers, ministers, and spiritual coaches.

Though Adventures In Missions has eight bases around the world, we coordinate the ministry out of our base in Georgia. Staff members will be available for personal conversations as well as helping to coach and resource students.
