On a mission to see healthy reproducing churches in each of the 22 departments of Guatemala, including all 25 tribes, tongues, and languages.

The Lord has granted fruit of disciples making disciples in Guatemala.

From the work in Guatemala to the emerging work in North America, we are assisting many in multiplication.

We want to see healthy reproducing churches in each of the 22 departments of Guatemala, including all 25 tribes, tongues, and languages.

We seek to accomplish this by catalyzing a movement of national disciple-making disciples who are equipped to share the gospel, make disciples, and teach others to do the same.

Meet The Team

The Saleeby Family

The Saleeby family moved to Guatemala in August 2017, obeying the call of God and sent by Him through their church in North Carolina. They lived in Guatemala for 6 years and weathered the pandemic there. In April 2022 the family returned to the U.S. for a visa run, but Christy was unable to return due to health complications caused by the Covid vaccine. Throughout 2022, the Lord showed them that the Guate22 team of Guatemalans were truly bearing fruit of disciples and teaching others to do the same. Through the Lord’s providence, the family experienced physical trials that rendered Christy unable to return. While she remained stateside, the rest of the family continued to work both in the U.S. and in Guatemala, waiting for healing. The Lord showed them during that time that He wanted them to pursue a new work. He had raised up a Guatemalan national team that was committed to the work, and it was time for them to return to the U.S. and do the work of the ministry from a home base in Columbia, SC. They continue traveling regularly to Guatemala to encourage and support the work there.

Now, as a family they focus on abiding in Jesus moment to moment, staying dependent on His guidance for each circumstance. They train many in discipleship, equipping the Body of Christ in group settings and one-on-one discipleship. They use their home as a place for weekly simple church gatherings, as well as a model of simple church for those who want to experience it. They are also helping to form a network in SC and the U.S. of those with the same vision. 

God is always faithful, His Word is the truth, and He never changes. His plan remains the same for His people to make disciples that bear His image and make more disciples. If Jesus is being worshipped in the wake of their efforts, they feel they have done their duty.

This is the Guate22 team, made up of nationals who faithfully labor and sacrifice their time and resources for the sake of the Kingdom.  Some are young adults, and some are seasoned pastors.  We are thankful for the privilege to serve and learn from them as we labor together.

Get Involved

God is expanding His Kingdom.  Here is how you can join the work:

  • You can get involved right now by joining us in praying for the Lord to raise up more workers in the harvest. Pray that God would work in the hearts of the people we share the gospel with and make them faithful disciples who will make more disciples. As you support us in praying, we pray that the Lord will bless your life and show you the opportunities that He is giving you to be an ambassador of His Kingdom, with a ministry and the message of reconciliation.

  • We welcome collaboration with other ministries seeking disciple-making movements in Guatemala. If you are interested in partnering with us, please let us know.

  • You are welcome to come and see what the Lord is doing and join us as we seek to fulfill His Great Commission until we see no place left in Guatemala. We pray that all who join us for short-term trips will return home challenged, encouraged, and equipped for ministry in their day-to-day lives.
