Your Mission Trip Accommodations

Mission Base

Your mission team will stay at our new mission base, which is modern and specifically designed for mission teams. Set in the middle of a large plantation and atop a mountain, there are spectacular views to behold in all directions. Your hosts and founders of Paradise Bound, Dan and Heidi Smith, their children and some of our Guatemala staff live in apartments within the base as well. Great food. Clean rooms and beds with bedding provided. Last but definitely not least: Bathrooms and showers with hot water.

Meals/Water

You are provided with American style cuisine…ok, all you can eat meals. Purified water is always available and utilized for all cooking.

Electricity and Communication

The mission base is equipped with 110v electricity (same as the U.S.), no adaptors needed. There is limited Internet access through the Paradise Bound laptops only, meaning you can post and receive correspondence with loved ones and friends only via the Paradise Bound blog set up specifically for your team at www.paradiseboud.org. Please do not bring your laptops as you will not be able to access our internet system and you risk paying a large import tax at Guatemalan customs. In case of emergency, your family can reach us via our cell phone at 011.502.4531.3570 or by emailing us directly at dan@paradisebound.org or heidi@paradisebound.org. Ultimately, your week with us is as electronically gadget free as possible…concentrating instead on our Lord, His calling in your life and on the lives of the precious ones you will encounter here.

Safety

The Paradise Bound mission base is nestled deep within a plantation, and far away from the ever present dangers of being within a large city. Our Open Doors Orphanage is built adjacent to the mission base, where teams stay. Though our base is still under some construction, this truly is a place you can relax and reinvest yourself in your personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ! Ultimately, there is no safer place to be than fully in His amazing arms.
