Christ’s Love Has No Boundaries
This post from Cait Our time in Guatemala comes to a bittersweet end – but we all are truly “joyfully exhausted”. It has been a blessing to be able to see familiar faces, meet new friends, and now share memories to last a lifetime. Our team was talking tonight about just how beautiful heaven will be, and I imagine it would be exactly like outreach. You could just hear
When We Work Together
This post by Mary Lee As children wait at the clinic, playing with the colorful and mesmerizing “parachute” is one of our favorite activities! In the large courtyard, you will often see 10-12 youngsters (plus “young-at-heart” adults) gathered in the afternoons. Grabbing the many handles on the outer edge of the flat, colorful circle of lightweight parachute fabric, we can create amazing shapes together. Playing with the parachute is not a game for just
Called to the Same Thing
This post by Jared Today I woke up at 6:10am, having gone to bed at 9:15pm. I'm pretty sure I could have gone back to sleep for another 5 hours. But I couldn't, there was just too much fun to be had. Because today is our day off. It's PARTY TIME! We started the day visiting church with Craig and Carol. Iglesia del Camino, The Church of the Way. I am always amazed and
Listening to Others Stories
This post by Alesa Some will ask, “Why go to Guatemala to help people when there are plenty of people in our own country that need help?” For me it is an easy answer. First of all, I believe that those belonging to Christ have all been called to share the Gospel all over the world no matter what avenue you choose to take. So, in a word, duty. Secondly, in our rushed and
Jesus and the Leper
This post by Dennis So, my favorite phrase from the country song, “Help Somebody” is “If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans”, and that is so true for me so far on this amazing journey that God has allowed me to be a part of. I had a pre-conceived notion that I was (only) going to entertain children while their parents were being seen by the medical team and that
First Day of Clinic
This post by Sherry Today was our first day at Healing Nations and it was an early morning. We were excited and nervous. We’ve all been praying hard that we could minister to others in a loving, servant way and I felt His presence today. My interpreter and I spent the day giving the social/economic survey to each person that came through the Outreach. I had a great interpreter but really wanted to speak

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 2016. It was so fun
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
