Kay and Jim Hines made their first short term missions trip to Guatemala in 1984.  God planted a seed in their hearts for Guatemala that led to the decision in 2004 to move to Guatemala on a full time basis.  Kay had been a Home Economics teacher and homemaker.  Jim had practiced Internal Medicine in Corpus Christi, Texas for 27 years. Their three grown sons were out of the home and no longer requiring Kay’s full time attention.  Jim closed his medical practice and they moved to Antigua to begin language school.

 Though the opportunities were endless, God led them to work two different ministries.  The first is Prince of Peace Home for Girls.   This is a home in Guatemala City for girls from very abusive homes.  Very few are orphans.  Here they are able to live in a safe environment and experience for the first time the love of God.  Kay teaches the older girls cooking classes.  Jim and Kay both work in the medical clinic that ministers to the girls in the home and to a group of very poor Mayans who live around the home.

Jim also works at the Hand of Hope Medical Clinic located in a remote area that ministers to approximately 8000 Mayans.  These people are extremely poor and have no source of medical care.  Through the practical means of medical care, the love of Christ is demonstrated to the people and many have come to salvation in Christ.
