Hi everyone! Last year over spring break I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Guatemala with my high school. I can’t even begin to explain the impact the trip had on my life and on my faith. I was able to see God move in so many amazing ways, got to interact with some amazing people, got to grow personally in my faith, and grew a deep love for the culture and the people there.

This year, there are four mission trip locations that my school is offering for this upcoming spring break. After praying and thinking about where the Lord would like me to go, I feel strongly called back to Guatemala. Even though this year we will not be returning to the same villages and churches as last year, I know that God has a purpose and a plan for sending me back. I am so beyond excited and grateful for this opportunity and for the chance to meet new people, visit new villages, create new relationships, and share the love of Jesus again in such a special place to me.

With this incredible opportunity comes large expenses. The most important thing you can do to support me through this journey is pray. Please pray for the students and team that will be traveling to Guatemala, for the people we will meet and interact with, and that God can be at the center of all that we do. If you feel led and are able, I would be so grateful for any financial support to be a part of what can help make this trip possible. Anything can bring me one step closer to saying “yes”’ to where God is currently calling me to go.

Thank you so much for reading this and for considering helping to be a part of this incredible journey. Whether it is through prayer, encouragement, or giving, it truly means a lot to me.

With love and gratitude,

Ella Hillary
