Transforming Lives in El Suyate: A Ministry of Hope
 

We are the Paiz Álvarez family: Herbert, Déborah, Rebecca and Valery. For more than 15

years, our heart has been in El Suyate, a community in eastern Guatemala.

 

Our Mission:

Breaking the cycle of poverty and abuse: We started with visits with Canadian volunteers,

attending to health and construction needs and providing special support.

Promoting education: We created a scholarship program that has allowed young people to

pursue diversified studies and university degrees, becoming agents of change for their families and the community.

Develop community leadership: We have formed a solid group of volunteers, young people and mothers who, having been part of the program, now lead and serve.

Share the Gospel: We make regular visits to share the Word of God, fostering a personal

relationship with Jesus Christ.

Involve the new generations: We believe in serving by example, which is why our daughters

have been actively involved from a young age.

We long for a local church: Our desire is to see the birth of a community of faith in El Suyate,

where families unite to glorify God.

 

Impact:

Transformed young people who are now professionals and leaders.

Strengthened communities with committed volunteers.

Families experiencing the love and hope of the Gospel.
