Sufficient crop yields can create steady income, empowering parents to feed and clothe their children and achieve greater stability. Our agricultural and microloan programs help farmers become more efficient, diverse and profitable in their work. Your support of these important programs can jump-start success and fuel brighter futures in Christ!
Agriculture supports health and community
When people in Guatemala think about the future, many find it hard to see beyond the cycle of poverty that has kept their families trapped for generations. Chronic child malnutrition affects Latin America widely, but the Diocese of Suchitepéquez-Retalhuleu has experienced it more acutely than most. When parents struggle to put nutritious food on their table, it is difficult to dream of anything more than meeting the needs of the moment.
Thankfully, one solution can help address both problems — feeding families while helping them build a brighter tomorrow.
Worldwide
Farmers will receive seeds, fertilizers and training, including workshops on agricultural techniques, crop management and resource utilization.
Give generously to equip families in Guatemala and around the world with the agricultural resources they need to grow and thrive!

Use it for reflections and notes to grow in your spiritual life. You’ll also receive a prayer request form to mail back so that we can pray for your needs. In effect, this creates a spiritual bridge to connect you to our sisters and brothers in Christ in the developing world!
Cross Mission Partners also receive a semiannual Mission Update with news, insights and information about the good work and accomplishments made possible by your support.
