You have the power to transform an entire community
Are you looking for a way for your church to get out of its comfort zone, experience global missions, and meet urgent needs for families living in poverty?
When you commit to transforming a village, you will be able to visit that community each year you give to see the changes you are making through your giving. You’ll also have the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with local families face-to-face.
By investing in a village, you’re investing in lives and futures of people who need a fresh start. You’ll be empowering them for generations to come.

How it works
1) Identifying the needs. The first step to your church’s Village Transformation is identifying people’s most urgent needs
Some of the needs you may be able to meet include:
- Clean-water wells
- New or renovated church buildings
- Homes for the neediest families
- Medical clinics
- Church buildings
2) Visiting your village. Once you have begun raising funds for these urgent needs, your church will have the opportunity to help with construction and form connections with the people you are helping. Many churches also choose to do a Vacation Bible School for the local kids.
3) Sponsoring a child. Child sponsorship is one of the greatest ways to effect lasting change in a community. Your church members can sponsor kids in your village and meet them when you visit! And if some of your church members aren’t able to travel there themselves, sponsorship is a great way for them to form a personal connection to the community.

“The Village Transformation project has been a great avenue for our church to share the love of Jesus Christ by addressing both the physical and spiritual needs of our village. This project has truly ignited a passion to reach not only the community in Guatemala but also the people where we live.”
— Dr. John Lloyd
Pastor, Christ Community Church
“Village Transformation really serves three purposes. It gives people the opportunity to see what missions is really about. It helps us connect with people from a foreign country like never before. Then, it’s an opportunity to share the Gospel and meet physical needs.”
— Craig Peters
Associate Pastor, Maranatha Bible Church
