The Twelve on Mission
Learn.Serve.Grow.
We equip pastors and leaders in Guatemala, mentor young adults exploring missions, and welcome North Americans to come serve and grow.
Our passion is discipleship, helping God’s people live deeply for Him and spread His Word to their communities.
We invite you to partner with us in prayer, lifting up pastors, families, and interns, as God continues His mighty work throughout the villages of Guatemala.
We invite you to partner financially with us, investing in lives and communities so God’s Word can grow deep roots and His Kingdom can expand across Guatemala.
Join us in the mission, come to Guatemala short or long term, serving, learning, and growing in faith while sharing God’s love with pastors, families, and communities.
Discipleship in action!
