Buena Vista, Guatemala – DeepStream / Educate BV

The Schmidt family moved to Guatemala in 2009 and began serving the people of Buena Vista.  Through our experiences with friends and families in this village, their eyes were opened to the many cycles of poverty that exist.  The education and health systems there are ones that are broken, giving little hope of change and a better future.  As they've interacted with the kids of BV, they see hope in their eyes and dreams of having a better life. 
 
Their involvement in BV birthed the vision for an educational center: Centro Educativo DeepStream (CEDS), which currently works within the daily routines of the public middle school, a private online advanced study program for additional students in BV (grades 1st-12th), preschool program, medical clinic, and other health initiatives.
 
Through this educational center, their vision is to train the future men and women who will lead Buena Vista - spiritually, mentally and physically.
 
This seven day trip has an intentionality in all that is planned for the team to be among the people and to encourage the Schmidt Family.  The team will spend some time doing projects that can range from farming and light construction but will also include activities with the school-aged children.  Work projects of any kind are always done alongside their staff. There is also time scheduled visiting the village and being present with families that are involved with the sponsorship program through the school.   Our purpose is to encourage and point them to Jesus by sharing of ourselves and how He has worked in our lives.
