POPTÚN
PETÉN

"To fulfill a vision, there needs to be a calling."
-Pastor Jervin

In December of 2021, Jervin and Jasmin moved their family 9 hours away to Poptún to start a church and eventually open a new GSO-run school.

In 2023, they felt the Lord prompting them to start the school sooner than expected; they took a leap of faith and taught six students in their home.

In 2024, the school has moved out of Jervin and Jasmin's home into a two-classroom rented schoolhouse, where they taught 10 students from Kindergarten to Grade 3.

Today, the Poptún school is thriving, with 25 students and seven staff, three of which have made the sacrifice of moving across the country to teach at the new school.

"I feel in my heart that the school is where God wants me to be. I love the school; it has formed my life and I love it with all my heart."
-Carolyn Ruano

THE FUTURE

Our dream is to purchase land and build a new CCAF campus in Poptún so that the vision of transforming Guatemala through Christ-centred education can also take root there.

WILL YOU HELP US TRANSFORM POPTÚN THROUGH CHRIST-CENTRED EDUCATION?

THANK YOU!
