What if adventure could deepen your faith, challenge your perspective, and create lasting impact long after you return home?
Join Madeline Grace, creator of The JESUS Challenge, for an unforgettable 7-day expedition through the mountains, villages, volcanoes, and lakes of Guatemala alongside Endure Adventures. This is a women's only trip.
Together, we’ll explore breathtaking landscapes, build meaningful relationships with local families and entrepreneurs, experience authentic Guatemalan culture, and step into adventures designed to challenge and renew you spiritually.
From volcano hikes above the clouds to paragliding over Lake Atitlán and serving alongside sustainable local business projects, every part of this experience is designed to create lasting transformation.
Our hope is simple:
That you return home more alive, more grateful, more connected to God, and more aware of the purpose you’ve been called to live.

At Endure Adventures and Go Beyond Adventure, we believe transformation happens when we serve with communities—not for them.
Every impact project is built on a community-first philosophy, prioritizing local leadership, local labor, and locally sourced materials. Your travel investment helps create jobs, strengthen small businesses, and empower communities long before you arrive.
As you step into the current phase of the project, you'll work alongside local builders and families, encouraging and supporting the vision they are already bringing to life. This isn't about being someone's rescuer—it's about becoming their partner.
Together, we'll experience the joy of building something that creates lasting impact, not only through the structure itself, but by investing in the people, relationships, and local economy that will sustain it for years to come.

When Travis first stepped out in faith to build what is now Endure Adventures in Guatemala, Noelia was one of the first people he met. Today, her restaurant supports her family, and together with Go Beyond Adventure, the property is expanding to include six homestays that will welcome travelers from around the world for an authentic bed and breakfast immersive experience.
On this expedition, you'll help build the perimeter fence that will protect and prepare the property for this next chapter. It's more than a construction project—it's an investment in a place that will create jobs, strengthen families, and serve travelers for generations to come.

Built on our community-first philosophy, this project prioritizes local leadership, labor, and materials—allowing your participation to strengthen both the project and the local economy. As you work alongside local builders and families, you'll experience the joy of partnering in a vision that creates lasting opportunity for generations to come.
