Guatemala

Guatemala is a rugged mountainous, jungle covered country filled with visible, crumbling reminders of ancient civilizations. It is a very religious country where spirituality is observable nearly everywhere but which is seldom more than a blistering, peeling veneer hiding fears, masking poverty and delaying concerns for an uncertain future. What all Guatemalans need is a deeply penetrating, transforming relationship with Jesus that will allow them to be and build the Body of Christ.

Guatemala is a country of contrast: rural pueblos and cemented cities, glitzy malls and marginalized communities, progress and antiquity, powerful ladino males and powerless indigenous women, very observable religion and a desperate need for the true, holistic Gospel. TEAM Guatemala encounters bruised hearts that need building up, passionate leaders that need training in truth, and isolated people and organizations that need to trust each other. But what all Guatemalans need is a deeply penetrating, transforming relationship with Jesus that will allow them to be and build the Body of Christ.

With more than half of the people living below the national poverty line, Guatemala is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. The country faces many social problems despite recent economic growth in some sectors.
Around 50-60 percent of the 13 million people are Catholic. Around 40 percent are Protestant with 1 percent following the indigenous Mayan faith. Mayan practices are commonly incorporated into Catholic ceremonies.
After suffering through a prolonged civil war between the government and leftist rebels, Guatemala became a representative democracy in 1996.
Guatemala is located in Central America between Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico; the capital is Guatemala City.
