The hope…: The hope… There are 66 Guatemalans currently serving as missionaries outside Guatemala, 53 have entered the mission field in the past three years! Others have served with eMig on short term teams, as interns, and as staff. Christians from all over the Western World are eager to serve God with eMig, which has the exciting dynamic of being both a mission field and a missions sending base. Many missions minded professionals in the United States speak Spanish, Creole, etc. which makes them even more equipped to partner with us at eMig in serving the many local ministries that request design assistance. Won’t you join us?
