In Guatemala BCC is partnering with Transforming Villages and Nations, Verbo Church (Guatemala), Living Word Church (Chicago), and Reindom (Guatemala) to bring the vision of “Communities as a Model of Transformation” to life.

Our efforts focus on the villages of Santa Marta, San José, and San Rafael in Sumpango—just 16 miles from Antigua Guatemala—working to foster lasting transformation and hope in these communities.

Ongoing Goal
We aim to help communities in extreme need experience holistic and sustainable transformation over a period of at least five years. Our goal is for these villages to become models of change, inspiring other communities both within Guatemala and beyond. This transformation will be achieved through a strategic plan of holistic development and dedicated volunteering, understanding that ultimately, it is the message of the Gospel that can truly make the difference in the individual, and beyond.

Strategic Plan
A true, lasting transformation requires a clear, structured approach. In partnership with Universidad Panamericana’s Department of Strategic Planning, we conduct comprehensive studies to identify the areas of greatest need, including:
•    Health
•    Education
•    Business
•    Family
•    Leadership
•    Arts and Sports
•    Security
•    Infrastructure
•    Environment
•    Spirituality

Support provided to the community will address all ten areas, ensuring measurable impact and clear outcomes.
 

Volunteering
Volunteers are essential to advancing this strategic plan. They work hand in hand with the community, bringing their skills, knowledge, resources, and experience to enrich each area of transformation.

Our volunteers include members of Guatemalan and international churches, educational institutions (schools and universities), businesses, charities, and non-profit organizations with a track record of meaningful social work. Together, they help implement sustainable change in the community.
 

Our Approach
It is important to note that our work is not politically motivated, financially driven, or intended for religious proselytising. This initiative is rooted in the love of God through Jesus Christ, who gave His life for all. Our aim is to serve without expecting anything in return, trusting that our actions and love will reveal God’s purpose to the community.
