Guatemala Mission Trip — March ‘26

Dear friends and family,

We hope this note finds you well! We’re writing with full hearts as we prepare for another mission trip to Guatemala this coming March. This country has become incredibly special to us over the last few years. In many ways, Guatemala is where our story began—where we fell in love in 2023, where we first served together, and where God has continued to draw us back again and again. Since that first trip, we’ve returned twice, each time feeling more connected to the people, the ministry, and the families who have become like our own.

We will once again be serving with a ministry that is deeply rooted in loving people through practical help, relationship, and the hope of Jesus. Every trip reminds us how powerful consistent presence can be—checking in on families we’ve known for years, meeting new ones, serving in the communities, and witnessing how God is moving in places that mean so much to us. We’re grateful for the chance to go back and continue being part of the work already happening there.

The total trip cost for the two of us is $3,800, which covers transportation, lodging, meals, outreach projects, and ministry needs. If you feel led to partner with us, we would be incredibly grateful—your support, in any form, means so much and truly helps make this mission possible.

If you’d like to support us financially, you can contribution here via Mighty Cause! If you prefer to write a check, reach out to either of us & we can share where to have that sent!

Above all, we ask for your prayers—for safe travels, for open hearts, for the families we’ll be serving, and for God to continue using this trip in ways only He can. We’re excited, expectant, and honored to return to a place that has shaped us so deeply.

Thank you for always supporting us and for being part of our mission family. We can’t wait to share what God does in Guatemala this spring.

With love & gratitude, 

The McLaughlins
