Guatemala City, Guatemala

Guatemala, a country situated in Central America with pleasant weather year-round, is recognized for its picturesque landscapes and traditional towns. Since 1882, numerous Christian denominations have established churches across the country, with an emphasis on gospel outreach and biblical instruction. While many local ministries and social programs—particularly those involving music—continue to experience substantial needs, music teams remain valuable contributors across all age groups.

Symphonic music powerfully connects with people by appealing to their emotions and can also express key elements of Christian faith. These performances can take place in churches, schools, or public venues.

This project will be led by Patrick Worsham.

What Others Are Saying

  • The time I spent in Guatemala impacted my life in so many ways! I saw first hand how the LORD can use music and His Word to draw Believers together as Christ's family, regardless of differences in location, language, nationality, or age. What an absolute joy to lift our instruments together as ONE body!

    I would encourage everyone to go on a GMP trip to Guatemala.

    - PAM C

  • Coming alongside the ministry partners in Guatemala was very inspiring to me. The long term commitment of so many of our GMP team members and the relationships they’ve built with Guatemalans was a huge encouragement to me.

    Worshiping TOGETHER with a body of Believers in Guatemala helped me to remember that GOD IS working throughout the world, and available for me to experience if I’m willing to step out on faith.

    - MELLONEE H

  • You can't even imagine the blessings that come from these projects... the joy of using your talent for Him, the excitement of making new friends all over the world, the lifelong friendships with other participants, the realization of how big God is, and also seeing other parts of the world that He created.

    There isn’t a better use of my time and money than investing in these projects.

Have a Question?

 

  • We get it. You love playing your instrument or singing in the choir and want to do more with your gift. But how? That's where we come in.

    We believe everyone should have the opportunity to use their God-given talent to serve the Lord. We take teams of choirs, orchestras, and jazz bands around the world to share the good news of Jesus.

  • Music is connecting. No matter the language of a song, it's the music that binds people together.[Our projects consist of evangelistic concerts with the gospel interwoven between songs.

    In many countries we have the opportunity to play music in conjunction with local musicians. We also serve by teaching music and sharing our testimonies with others.

  • In fact, we DO need you! God has a special plan for your life that includes using you to minister to others.

  • Nope. You sure don't! That's why we exist - to form teams comprised of individuals that have a heart for missions and want to serve the Lord through music.

    Find a project and hop on board!

  • Of course! In fact, we encourage it! We can always use an extra set of hands and a smiling face :)

  • Typically, as long as you have at least 4 years of playing experience, you're good! However, we may ask about prior playing experience to help us assign music parts.

  • Typically the music is sent out one month before the project. Once we land in the country we're going to, we'll have one rehearsal, then we're off and running!

  • For instruments that aren't airplane friendly (tuba, upright bass, etc), we can usually rent them in the country we're going to. Let us know which project you're interested in and we'll help work it out!

  • Almost the whole kit and caboodle! The project cost includes air transportation, transportation within the country, accommodations, one meal per day, sightseeing excursions, and insurance on yourself and your instrument.

    The project cost does not include an entry visa (if applicable), a US passport, domestic travel to the airport, and two meals per day.

  • You can, but you don't have to! On average, each project is broken into 4 or 5 payments with an average of 2-3 months between payments.

  • Stepping out in faith is an important part of going! There are many ways to raise support - sending a support letter to friends and family, asking your church for support, forgoing that $5 drink from Starbucks, having a garage sale, and most importantly through prayer! God doesn't just call you to go, He also provides for you.

  • They are! We are a 501c3 which makes your donations tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. You can deduct your project cost in addition to any other expenses accrued during travel.

  • We always include excursions to learn about the culture of the country. However, our goal is missions, so that will be the main focus of the project!
