FAQs Short-Term Missions Team 

Can I participate by myself or do I have to be attached to a team?
In order to best use our resources in Guatemala, people who are not attached to a team will be linked up with another mission team. The Teams Coordinator will organize this for you. "teams@impactminusa.org"
​
What do you typically do during a short-term mission?
Typically activities that mission groups get involved in are children's programs, home visits to sponsored children's homes, hospital maternity ward/children's ward visits,  assisting in construction projects, painting walls, attending morning devotions at a Colegio De Vida school, visiting the local market, visiting archeological sites, and visiting the ancient city of Antigua.

How long is the typical short-term mission?
Typically a group stays in Guatemala for 10-14 days. 

What is the cost for a short-term mission?
Rule of thumb is that ground costs will be $87 per day, including transportation, accommodation, and meals + use of interpreters. Your flight costs down to Guatemala are above and beyond these ground costs. So a 11 day stay would cost $957 plus your flight cost.

Is Tactic a safe place to visit?
Yes it is.

What kind of travel arrangements do I need (shots, passport, etc.)?
Check with your doctor or local travel clinic. They will know what shots recommended for Guatemala. And EVERYBODY will need their passport.

Are there medical services available for the visiting teams?
Yes, there are doctors and a hospital is a half-hour drive from Tactic.

What about food allergies? Will this be a problem in Guatemala?
Because of conditions in developing countries, it is difficult & sometimes impossible to avoid allergens. Although we want to know when a team member has allergies, specifically if the allergies are serious and could induce anaphylactic shock, we may not be able to adjust the team menu to accommodate for allergies. Therefore, it is critical that a team member with food allergies supply their own snacks and/or food items for those occasions when they are unable to eat the food that is being presented. Impact Ministries is unable to take responsibility for minors who have anaphylactic allergies or serious life threatening medical conditions. Minors will be permitted on Short-Term Mission teams when accompanied by a parent who would take charge of managing their medical conditions.
