Guatemala Ministry Partner
About Our Guatemala Ministry Partner
We have long-standing relationships of prayer, support, and visits to the Eben Ezer Presbyterian Church in La Blanca, Guatemala.
Through the partnership shared by the Presbytery of WNC and two Guatemalan presbyteries, FPCA has been paired with our sister church, the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church in La Blanca, Guatemala.
The partnership has been founded on friendship, prayer and visits between members of our congregation. In 2008 we began a scholarship program with the Ebenezer congregation to support the many children and youth of La Blanca. Our older senior high youth have regularly sent delegations to Guatemala, learning much about the history and culture of this beautiful land.
Upcoming Opportunities
A team of approximately twenty adults, youth, and college students is preparing for a trip in the summer of 2024 to learn and experience the boundary-breaking love of Jesus in new ways, and to strengthen our relationship with our siblings in Christ at Eben Ezer.
