Our Ministry

Porch de Salomon is a response to God calling several families and their friends into lives 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. Solomon's Porch was an ancient, open place where people seeking transformation gathered to explore Jesus of Nazareth's radical message of love and redemption.

With this in mind, God has used us, and many others, to develop friendships and relationships in Panajachel, the world's #4 hippie travel destination (www.toptenz.com). Porch is among Central America's most progressive Jesus-based ministries; we serve, smile, walk and cry with the indigenous, Ladino, expatriates and tourists.

Porch seeks to provide a "safe" place where you can be yourself, celebrated as an individual, whether ministering or being ministered to, and know you are part of God's creation, with a special purpose in life. While we are open to divine answers, we also look to dwell in the mystery that is life in "the Way." We invite you to this place with no preconceived notions of who you should be.

If you are looking for an experience that will challenge you, stretch your faith, and welcome you into something bigger than yourself, then come be a part of what God is doing through Porch de Salomon.
