Core Values

We Believe

We believe in God, Creator of heaven and earth. We believe that God became man in the person of Jesus Christ, who died for our sins on the cross and rose from the dead. We believe Christ sent the Holy Spirit to bless, guide, and dwell in all who believe.

We believe The Bible to be the infallible Word of God. We believe God has called us to action saying “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:37)

People

We are committed to serving God’s people by providing opportunities for spiritual, educational, and emotional growth for community members, and encouragement, resources, and fair wages for staff members.

Resources

We believe in complete transparency of our finances, resources, employees, and programs. Our annual report will be made available on our website and we welcome any inquiries and requests for additional information.

Families

We believe ending poverty requires a holistic approach. We are committed to addressing core issues such as education, health, family dynamics, and spirituality. We include the entire family, not just the sponsored child, in this approach.

Leadership

We are committed to training leaders and encouraging them to invest in their own community development. We believe in empowering communities to promote change from within.

Believe Together

If you feel led to help, we ask that you prayerfully consider sponsoring a child, or donating to our general fund. We are called daily by God to walk alongside the garbage dump communities in Guatemala City, but to faithfully serve we humbly ask for your help. Our staff and board members are always available to talk, answer questions, help with fundraising, or explore any suggestions you have for the communities, children, and Believe Guatemala.
