Porch de Salomon is a response to God calling a family into a life of love and service in Panajachel, Guatemala, by developing a multi-faceted ministry to reach not only the large population of expatriates, but to help mobilize the volunteer teams and individuals who come to minister to the indigenous population as well.
Solomon’s Porch Coffeehouse
This important part of their 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. Their facility serves coffee, food, live music and cinema, and hosts their weekly worship gathering as well as school and community functions.
Needs-Based Street Ministries
God’s vision has them reaching out to the many children and adults selling handicrafts to the tourists and eking out a meager existence at best. They help meet basic needs and provide a free weekly movie and snack outreach program.
Mission Team Support
They 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
They host and deploy individual volunteers who are called to front-line global mission work. They 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 their 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.
