JOIN HRI ON A MISSION TRIP!

HRI welcomes you to work with us to develop a special mission trip for your group to Haiti or Guatemala in 2012, 2013 and/or 2014. HRI trips are typically 6 day trips and include 10 to 18 people total. HRI currently offers three different mission trip experiences:

1. Haiti Orphanages: Your team would visit one or several of the 25 HRI supported orphanages. Your work project would include one of the following: painting, minor construction projects, gardening, clean-up activities, or setting up animal pens. You would be able to host an outreach program for the children, bring gifts, and have plenty of play time. Your tourism day could include either a visit to the beach or the mountains, with souvenir shopping.

2. Guatemala City Slums: Your team would participate in a school or community-based nutritional feeding program targeted at 3 to 15 year old children. Your work projects would include one or more of the following: preparation of one or more meals for the children, kitchen improvement, construction of an energy efficient stove, storage improvement, gardening, or minor construction. You would be able to host an outreach program for the children, bring gifts, and have plenty of play time. Your tourism day would include a visit to Antigua, a colonial city one hour from the capital.

3. Guatemala Rural Villages: Your team would be working in remote villages building school kitchens, latrines, energy efficient stoves, planting gardens, or laying cement for ball courts. You would be able to host an outreach program for the children, bring gifts, and have plenty of play time. Your tourism day would include a visit to Antigua.

If I could sum our trip up into a word it would be “partnership”. This mission trip was so much bigger than putting in windows, finishing a kitchen’s walls, and replacing a temporary roof with a permanent one (although those are extremely important!).  This trip was about creating unity with Miss Elizabeth & the kids. We were able to build a relationship this trip with them that I thought would take much longer accomplish. And it all happened because we were able to rotate significant quality time in with working hard on the kitchen. We brought down beads and made jewelry with the kids (They loved it!), had language lessons with them, had the kids and Miss Elizabeth decorate tshirts with us (special memories), and we were able to treat them all (including the amazing workers we bonded with) to a King’s Banquet lunch of deli sandwiches, chips, cookies and pop. It was amazing to see God move us one huge step closer to Him & to each other. Jesus, and his love is a universal language.
