Our Vision
A Restored Future for Every Child, Every Family, Every Community
through bold mercy and the enduring hope of Christ.
Who We Serve
The Quiché people of Guatemala’s Central Highlands face deep and generational poverty.
Barriers related to language, education, farming, nutrition, and access to healthcare have impacted every area of daily life — body, mind, and spirit. Yet even in the hardest places, we see resilience, faith, and the desire for a better future.
Where We Work
Joyabaj is a town and municipality in the Central Highlands of Guatemala, located in the Sierra de Chuacús mountains about 50 kilometers from Santa Cruz del Quiché.
It is home to a vibrant K’iche’ Maya population, rich in tradition and culture, yet deeply affected by poverty and isolation.
Once a key stop along the royal route to Mexico during Spanish rule, Joyabaj was nearly destroyed by the 1976 earthquake while still in the midst of Guatemala’s 36-year civil war. Today, it remains a region marked by both hardship and resilience — and is the central focus of our mission efforts.

Our Yes!
A message from our founders…
Step alongside us. Your journey, like ours, can begin with a simple Yes!
Have you ever experienced a moment that was supposed to be about someone else, only to find it forever altering your own life? That's the story of our yes, a journey that started with a mission trip meant for our teens but turned into something far more profound.
From the moment we entered Guatemala, poverty ceased to be a distant concept; it had faces, stories, and struggles. The inadequate shelter, parental neglect, joblessness and illiteracy shook us to our core. We were confronted with the harsh realities that many faced daily, without solutions. As we returned home, we realized we couldn't just walk away.
Our faith began rising, so we organized mission teams, began building homes, sponsored education and soon we found ourselves supporting families who have children with disabilities. In 2011, we took a leap of faith and legally started Send Me. With every step, we continued to say yes. Partnerships with organizations like The Jesus Film Project became turning points, introducing community growth in ways we never imagined.
This journey wasn't just about changing the lives of those we met; it changed ours too. Unable to go back to our 'old’ life, we made the monumental decision to move to a small town in Guatemala, where our commitment took root. Now, 15 years later, much has changed, and we're inviting you to step onto this road of growth and transformation with us.
Our Yes brought us into a community of hearts, a tapestry woven with threads of despair, hope and lots of resilience. We're not just inviting you to read our story; we're asking you to join the story, We believe it is God’s story. Walk with us and connect with us on this incredible journey of faith. The story is ongoing, and we believe it's a story worth sharing, living, and growing with. 🌍✨
With profound hope,
