Another wonderful outreach!
Post from Amy: Cheers to another successful medical outreach week! It is with a “joyfully exhausted” heart that I finish out the blog posts for our July 2022 trip. After many previous experiences and medical teams, I can honestly say this trip was the best of the old and new. Our team consisted of several original members of the medical crew from the first medical trip to Guatemala in
So joyfully exhausted
We saw 113 patients today, some hard visits reminded us that we can do what we can do, and that medicine has limits. Pray for these cases that God would bring healing spiritually and draw people to Himself. From Shawnda: Today was a lot. A lot of patients, a lot of laughs, a lot of tears, but mostly a lot of love. We saw the most patients today, and that was a lot. I
God’s gift, future plans, and a busy day in Antigua!
We had an amazing land dedication service on the land God has given us for our future clinic build! It was a sweet time of worship and prayer and consecrating this project and our plans to the Lord. Then we celebrated with a fun day in Antigua! Post from Austin: In the Shadow of the Mountains Cars, Tuk Tuks, psychedelic buses, mopeds, and motorcycles transport the excited masses throughout the tourist city. One-way sidewalks,
Saturday’s outreach, busy and blessed!
We saw 98 patients today, and while it was super busy (and crazy in the medicine room), we were done at a decent hour! Post by Johanna: Hello from the Medicine Room! You might remember this as the P#@[email protected]*y however there are several words that have been eliminated from our vocabulary due to governmental regulations and that was one of them. May it rest in peace. We have finished our third day of clinic
A smooth second day!
Day two was smooth thanks to yesterday’s hard work during setup! We were done by 6:30 (although the bus didn't come until 7:30! Eek!) We saw another 92 patients even with one less provider, so our 4 providers were busy! Post by Cait: I am working in the procedure room this week, which basically means I get to do all the really fun (pretty dirty jobs). Normally, patients will come see me to get
Day One.. done!
Praise God for a full and smooth first day of our medical outreach! We saw 92 patients today and are certainly all joyfully exhausted. :) Post by Chloe: As someone who has been around and involved with children for the majority of my life, I thought I was rather prepared to come here and play and interact with the local kids. I came here ready to teach the kids crafts and tell bible stories
The Team Has Landed!
The team has landed! Please pray that the team would be able to rest well as they will get started with the medical outreach early tomorrow morning! Back to Team Page
Last Day of Clinic!
Today was our last day of clinic and it has been such a joy to serve the community of Membrillal this week alongside our Guatemalan friends. Including our medical team, we had 65 people working together to serve this community throughout the week. It was such a beautiful display of the body of Christ working together for the glory of God. In total we were able to care for 362 patients! Thank you to
Clinic Day 4
From Sherri: Here we are nearing the end of our clinic days already! Today was our last full day with these wonderful people, and it was a long, full day ending with a cool, damp fog. Even though the days have been long, the time has passed by so quickly. How exciting it has been to play a small part in the work accomplished this week. My whole reason for pursuing nursing later in
A Day of Rest
From Randy: I have been coming to Guatemala on this medical mission trip the past 6 or 7 years. At first I must admit it was scary – not having any lab or imaging devices to help with making diagnoses, but I now feel in my comfort zone here. Diagnoses are based on history and physical exams and as we put it in medicine we sometimes feel we “wing it.” But through the grace
Clinic Day 3
From Laurie: We hit the ground running on a COLD day today! It even rained a bit this morning. Nothing can dampen this group’s spirits. We met for devotions in the game court and Dan restrained himself from hitting the netting above our heads which was coated with water droplets. I congratulated him on his restraint. I am really enjoying the new medical records system. It is nice to be able to communicate more
