Guatemala
RegisterGuatemala is a country rich in scenery, culture, hospitality, and awe-inspiring displays of God’s creation. It’s also a country continually battling the crushing weight of poverty. You will experience nothing short of a new, life changing perspective of humility, grace, and compassion. You will have a chance to listen to the stories of the locals, talk about your faith, build new relationships, and to humbly offer your time in the form of education, children’s ministry, youth outreach, all with the message of hope found in Jesus Christ. The possibilities are abundant and the need is real.
Students 13 - 18
Staff 19+
Outreach
We will primarily be working with Breaking Cycles, a ministry based in Sumpango, Guatemala. We will get to do everything from constructing homes from the ground up, leading VBS children’s ministries, and doing home visits to share the Gospel in nearby villages.

Adventure
Personal development
In Guatemala, you will enjoy some of the most amazing and diverse landscapes you have ever seen. From exploring Mayan ruins to enjoying beautiful views of active volcanoes, Adventure is everywhere you turn. You’ll get to explore local markets and try your hand at bartering, swim in the deepest lake in Central America, and perhaps even ride a horse!

Team Dynamics
Growth
There are countless ways God may choose to work in your life this summer. You may find yourself growing in gratitude as you experience the culture shock of how little others possess. Perseverance may be another area of growth as we will have a very busy schedule, sometimes filled with the manual labor of mixing cement for the foundation of a house you’re building. Perhaps even in just building the habits of daily Scripture reading, focused memorization, and regular small group discussions, you will grow in your faith.
What are students saying about royal servants?
the royal servants experience
While every Royal Servants Trip is different, some things that never change.
From Training Camp to debriefing, every aspect of our ministry is focused on discipling our students. Through small group discussions, large group teachings, and an extensive debriefing process, we want to ensure your student is not only emotionally prepared for a summer overseas but also that they are prepared to apply what they learn in the summer to their life at home.
It is important for our teams to start with a solid foundation before they embark overseas. At Training Camp, you will begin building relationships with your team, learn how to share the Gospel, and prepare for what life will look like overseas. You will leave Training Camp ready to face any challenge that may come your way.
Over the course of the summer, you will experience how transforming life in Christian community can be. Through daily quiet times and small group discussions, you will deepen your relationship with God. Through outreach, you will gain new understanding of God's heart for the world and the Church. Through being in community, you will learn how to love those around you.
After weeks packed full of ministry outreaches, you will transition into a week of debriefing. Going home after an intense summer ministry experience can be challenging emotionally and spiritually. Debriefing is a time of reflection about what you have experienced, seeking wisdom from God, and preparing for the challenges you might face going home.
Throughout the summer, you will hear teachings on foundational Christian truths. Our biblical worldview is best described as historic Christianity, and we teach from a traditional perspective on morality and values that the church has held for over 2000 years. Refer to our Statement of Faith and make sure we are the right fit. On everything else, we encourage students to seek answers from their parents and local church community.
Royal Servants takes the safety and health of each participant seriously. We go to great lengths to ensure participants remain healthy and safe throughout the trip.
Therefore, no participant is allowed to be alone in any city; Royal Servants always travel in groups of three or more, and when possible, with either a male or Summer Staff in each group. The Trip Leaders also continually monitor conditions within the host country before and during the trip. The team will be moved to a stable location if a situation threatens the team's security, whether from political or environmental conditions.
Royal Servants mission trips are led by Reign Ministries’ staff, not part-time volunteers. Our staff care deeply about students and see leadership as a privilege. Each staff member is intensively trained on how to connect with and lead students. They are fully engaged in every aspect of the mission trip, whether being involved in ministry, leading Bible studies, or just hanging out building relationships. They are intentional to ensure that each student is discipled beginning at Training Camp and through debriefing prior to returning home.
