Global Prayer Team

Guatemala, located in Central America, is a country known for its rich cultural heritage, beautiful landscapes, and vibrant indigenous traditions. The country is home to over 17 million people, with a mix of Spanish and Mayan influences that shape its identity. The majority of Guatemalans identify as Christian, with Roman Catholicism and Protestantism being the most prominent denominations. However, Guatemala faces significant challenges, including poverty, political instability, and violence, which affect many of its communities. The church in Guatemala has an important role to play in bringing hope, healing, and unity to the nation. Let’s lift up Guatemala in prayer, asking God to bless its people, strengthen the church, and bring transformation throughout the land.
