For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10

Opportunities to Serve
When we approached the Ixil people of Guatemala about their needs they asked us for three things:
Medical Assistance. Most of the people have never seen a doctor. It is our desire to bring primary, non-surgical medical care to the region to assess the current health situation, and treat whatever is reasonable. We would then arrange for more intensive care at a hospital facility in neighboring areas. Please contact us if you have medical
training (physician, NP, PA or nurse) and are willing to serve.
Bring the Youth. Since BOH began in 2005, we have been bringing youth to the region. These dedicated teens (and sometimes pre-teens) return year after year. It is the prayer of the Ixil people that their plight is heard and not forgotten, and they believe that the American youth are their pathway to that objective. Adults go on the trip and return home forever changed. Youth go on the trip and return home to live compassionately, and become world changers as adults.
More Trips Per Year. Jesus says in Matthew 9:37-38, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” There is no end of need in the region-no end of poverty, homelessness, hunger and sickness. You can help provide housing, food, economic assistance and medical care one person at a time.
