Hillcrest United Church, Montague, PEI ... a church striving to live in God's way
             GUATEMALA MISSION   
      Through the efforts of Corinne Ellsworth building homes in Parramos, Guatemala has become a special outreach effort of Hillcrest UC.  She has made 4 trips there as a volunteer, where she helped build three small homes ($2300 each, one in 2019 totally funded by Hillcrest donors) and helped train teachers.
           These projects are managed by the Arms of Jesus Mission based in Ontario which ministers to Mayan people living in rural areas of Guatemala and Haiti where there is much poverty. Four PEI Islanders, two from our congregation, were ready to return to Guatemala in 2020 just before Covid cancelled such plans. We at Hillcrest anticipate continuing to help this program when it can begin again.

                    House Building

            Arms of Jesus seek out families in poor communities who are in need of a home. These families often live in shelters built with cornstalk or aluminum siding, which are built on a dirt floor with little protection from the elements. Through donations, they are able to provide a modest home made of drywall that is built on a concrete floor. In 2011, they built 63 homes for needy families
