About Us

Serving Together

Our Values

We believe in offering a hand-up to create sustainability and dignity to those whom we come alongside and serve.

We serve all people no matter their religion, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.

We value building relationships with the local people and truly listening to them, rather than trying to “fix” their problems with our own agenda.

We believe that God’s love and the redemptive power of Jesus is the greatest gift that we can share.

How We Began

Reach Out International was inspired by our Founder, Lauren Guillen, while she was a missionary serving in El Salvador. Lauren noticed that many of the local people love their community and country, and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it a better place, yet often lack the necessary resources and/or skills to implement those dreams. With the encouragement of her father, and the desire planted in her husband’s heart, Reach Out International was founded March of 2016. Lauren’s husband, Cristian, was born and raised on a remote Island called La Calzada in El Salvador and they served there many times. From there, Reach Out has dedicated their efforts to serving the Island in order to help the community overcome physical and spiritual poverty.
