The Good Shepherd Children's Home ministers to the disadvantaged and forgotten children of Guatemala in the name of Christ.  It has helped over 200 children since its opening in July 2014.  Our desire is to have a maximum impact upon the children's lives through Christ.  In addition to the main home in Quetzaltenango there are two family homes in the rural area of Cantel. The Westmoreland and Mae homes are family centered and the children in these homes will be raised to adulthood.  Life is centered around a strong work ethic, a solid education, and having a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

​

The younger and middle-aged children attend our own Good Shepherd school where they receive personal attention according to their abilities.  The older children attend an excellent Christian school.  Many children are involved in music lessons, sewing, embroidery, and life skill activities.  They are active in church where all attend Sunday School, some sing in the praise group, and a few actually teach Sunday School. The home employs a sub-director, psychologist, social worker, guard, cook and multiple child-care workers.  Vicki Grossmann is one of two co-directors and closely oversees all aspects of the ministry.    

​

The home is financed through Good Shepherd Ministries, Baptist Children's Homes of NC, NC Baptists on Mission teams, and people who love this ministry like you.  There is also a need for volunteers to assist short term at the Children's Home.  You can find out more about how to serve in this area by clicking here.  Sponsor a child today by clicking on the "Donate" button.
