WIND’s Programs
WIND Guatemala partners with local leaders in San Juan Cotzal to support Christian education, child sponsorship, pastor training, health and nutrition programs, and mission teams.
We come alongside the teachers and leadership team at Colegio Horeb as they seek to provide quality education based on Biblical principles. We work directly with teachers to improve teaching technique and strategy. Under the strong leadership of Principal Tabita Toma, there are now 28 teachers and close to 500 students in grades Pre-K through High School.
WIND continues to support the development of Colegio Horeb’s permanent campus in Cotzal, designed to eventually serve up to 700 students. Three buildings with twelve classrooms and a multi-use sports court have been completed.
We help facilitate the training of church pastors and leaders through the Jorai Bible Institute. We have launched a Biblical Studies Certificate program for pastors and lay leaders.
WIND initiated a feeding program to meet the needs of malnourished children who struggle in the classroom, providing lunches for 40 students each day.
Also, it is the vision of WIND to deliver a progressive and sustainable dental program which will forever change the dental health in the community of San Juan Cotzal.
Besides this, WIND has helped facilitate medical care for significant conditions when needs arise in the community. Watch this video for an example.
WIND hosts mission teams that serve alongside local leaders and ministries in San Juan Cotzal. Teams support areas such as dental care, education, construction, ministry, and community projects while building long-term relationships with the people WIND serves.
