Pura Vida

From Our Doors to Guatemala

April 26, 2026

Class Description

Join us and learn about a ministry close to our hearts!  Almost 25 years ago, a vision was born right here at Trinity UMC by Trinity member Mark Ely.  That vision became Pura Vida, a non-profit dedicated to meaningful, respectful, and long-term support for communities in Guatemala.

Trinity member and Pura Vida Board member, Lynn Kendig,  Mary Sue Alexander, former Trinity member and Joyce Carnes will present a program celebrating the transformational work of Pura Vida.

Hear how Pura Vida is transforming lives in rural villages by:

  • Providing educational scholarships and tutoring children.
  • Supporting local schools to create lasting opportunity.
  • Empowering families to build a better standard of living.
