Porch De Salomon
UCC-Crested Butte & Porch de Salomon, Guatemala
UCC mission trips to Porch de Salomon, Guatemala. The primary goal of these trips is to help build basic homes for Guatemalans living in extreme poverty. However, there is much more these trips have to offer. We believe that the experience of working alongside and interacting with these amazing people will be a transformational one. They have so little in terms of basic material needs for living, yet they will readily share with you their spiritual abundance of joy, love, and appreciation for what they do have and for having us come into their lives for a time.
Our partner organization in-country is Porch de Salomon. They are a progressive Christian ministry that shows God’s love through serving “the last, the lost and the least.” They do not evangelize. In addition to the work that they do helping those in need, they also run a cafe/music spot, which is often where our day begins and ends. The hostel where we stay, Hotel California (https://hotelcaliforniapana.com/), is right in the heart of the city, so this trip is also an immersion, of sorts, into the lives of these people and the local culture of Panajachel and the surrounding area.
