Why We Are Expanding Our Mission to Guatemala

For True Shepherd Foundation, the decision to expand into Guatemala was not made lightly. It came through prayer, listening, and a growing awareness of both the need and the opportunity within local communities.

Guatemala is a country rich in culture, resilience, and potential. It is also a place where many families face limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity. Generations often find themselves caught in cycles of poverty that feel impossible to escape.

As we engaged with local leaders and listened to community stories, one truth became clear. The desire for growth is already present. What is needed are the tools and support to turn that desire into sustainable change.

Our expansion into Guatemala is rooted in the same principles that guide all of our work. Education as a foundation for opportunity. Healthcare as a pathway to strength and stability. Trade skills as a means of empowerment and dignity.

We are not entering Guatemala to impose solutions. We are entering to partner. To listen. To collaborate with local leaders and organizations who understand their communities deeply.

Faith plays a central role in this step forward. We believe God opens doors with purpose and intention. This expansion represents an opportunity to serve more families, equip more individuals, and support communities as they work toward self-sustaining economic development.

As we begin this new chapter, our focus remains the same. Empower people with knowledge and skills. Foster long-term growth. Walk alongside communities with compassion, honesty, and faith.

Guatemala is not just a new location. It is a continuation of our mission. A commitment to serve wherever the need is great and the opportunity for transformation exists.
