Porch De Salomon Charity Profile
Porch de Salomon is a response to God calling a family into a life of love and service in Panajachel, Guatemala. We hope to bring the passion of the first century church to those who live in a 21st century world. In Acts 5, Solomon’s Porch is described as a place for the believers to meet and carry out their healing ministries and a sending point for them to take Christ’s message into the world.
With this idea in mind, God is using us to develop a multi-faceted ministry to reach not only the large hurting population of expatriates, but to help mobilize the volunteer teams and individuals who come to minister to the indigenous population as well.
God’s Plan so Far
Solomon’s Porch Coffeehouse
This important part of our ministry serves the “Anglo” expatriates and world tourists who seek adventure, meaning and more in Panajachel. There is a strong need for accessible, culturally-current ministry in this place of spiritual darkness. Our facility serves coffee, food, live music and cinema, and hosts our weekly worship gathering as well as school and community functions.
Needs-Based Street Ministries
God’s vision has us reaching out to the many children and adults selling handicrafts to the tourists and eking out a meager existence at best. We help meet basic needs and provide a free weekly movie and snack outreach program.
Mission Team Support
We recruit, deploy, and provide local logistical support for short-term mission teams serving the impoverished indigenous Mayan people of the Lake Atitlan Basin.
Individual Missionary Support
We host and deploy individual volunteers who are called to front-line global mission work. We offer an exciting, yet “safe,” place of discovery for persons seeking direction or definition of their spiritual gifts.
Catalyst for Individual and Congregational Transformation
One of our passions is to help American seekers and believers transform (per Romans 12:2-3) into fully-devoted followers of Christ and to lovingly encourage and challenge American congregations to transform from maintenance to mission, local and global.
