About this listen

The James Project Podcast exists to share how God has raised up a group of amazing people to serve and provide for some of the most vulnerable women and children of Guatemala over the last 20 years, and continues to do so today. Hear incredible stories from international missionaries who serve or have served at the project, board members who serve to help the ministry grow and flourish, team leaders who travel down every year to be the hands and feet of Jesus for a week at a time, and those whose lives have been changed through this 15 acre plot in a rural town in Guatemala.James ProjectPod Economics Management Management & Leadership
