PROMISED LAND MINISTRIES SCHOOL SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM (PLAN PADRINO)
The Promised Land Ministries’ Spring of Hope Mission in Guatemala operates a school sponsorship 
program, called Plan Padrino, to enable local children in the villages surrounding Lake Atitlan to attend school and receive an academic education that would otherwise not be available to them. The cost to sponsor a child for the academic year (January – October) is $150 for children in kindergarten through 6th grade and $300 for children in grade 7 and higher in public schools and $300 per year for all students enrolled at Spring of Hope mission school. This provides school supplies, backpack, shoes, gym uniform, school tuition and registration fees. For many of the children in this area of Guatemala, this is the only way that they could receive an education. For more information about the school sponsorship program, or to sponsor a child for the next school season (2012-2013), please contact Chet Marshall at 215 638-9035 or Lee Thomas at 215 357-5323.
JULY 2013 GUATEMALA MISSION TRIP
LPC’s next mission trip to Guatemala is set for July 6-13, 2013. We will be working with our partners, Promised 
Land Ministries, in serving the people of the Lake Atitlan region of the country. The main focus of this trip will be improving the living conditions of some of the families living around the lake. Read more about this project here. There is also an opportunity to be involved in a children’s VBS type ministry and assisting in the medical clinics conducted in the villages around the lake. The need is great, and it feels great to be able to help fill the need of those of God’s children who have so little in the way of material possessions or financial means. If you would like to participate in this mission trip as a member of our “away team”, of if you are willing to be a part of the LPC “home team” in support of this trip, please contact Pastor Bill at the church office, or call 267 226-8131Bob Ciatto at 215 638-9035. For additional information see the Guatemala Handbook – Summer 2013. This year’s trip application is here.
