The mission of Mercy Wings International (MWI) is to
speed humanitarian relief, ministry
workers, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people.
Many times
those in need are located in very remote areas.
The area north of Quetzaltenango, for
example, is populated by indigenous Maya
Indian.
To reach these areas one must travel first within the
unreliable and often dangerous
(chicken) bus system. A typical bus will be
grossly overloaded, in the poorest of mechanical
condition, and driven at breakneck speeds on roads that
are barely passable.
If this were
not enough it is very common to be robbed at gunpoint
while on secluded stretches. It will take 5-8
hours to reach the pictured village of Nebaj. The
same trip from our mission base in Quetzaltenango is 20
minutes. Click the links below
