Last Day of Clinic
Today, we wrapped up the last day of the inaugural week of the clinic. Even though it was a tiring week, I am beyond grateful to be a part of what God is doing in this ministry and in the surrounding communities. Thank you so much to everyone back home who prayed and supported this team and project in some way! As we say in our team huddle each
God of Restoration
Today we were all back in the clinic all day and everyone looked extremely busy seeing patients. It’s amazing how fast the days go down here serving these unbelievably grateful people!! This is my first trip down to Guatemala so I really didn’t know what to expect other than to come down with a servant heart and help as many people with the skills God has given me. The new clinic is very functional
Choose Compassion
The day began with worship services at the Church of Nueva Vida with Pastor Josie. We were taught through music and word. What an incredible experience it was to be surrounded by the people of Guatemala. We were taught to be doers of the word of Christ in taking upon his name and spreading the word of God. Pastor Josie encouraged us all to find ways to lift the souls of those around us.
Home Visits
In our first home visit, we met a widow. She was about 60-70 years old. She had several children who live far away from her. She has one child who stays with here but he is just there for the night because he goes to work. We later gave her a food bag because she was in need of food. After we gave her the food bag, we prayed for her and her family.
First Full Day of Clinic
Today was the first full day of clinic appointments in the new building! A group of us also went on some home visits in the town of Santo Tomas. We saw three elderly patients who have been seen by our clinic staff for 8 years! For various reasons, they can’t make it into clinic anymore so we brought doctors, nurses, and other team members (or as Cait says, “mis amigos de los Estados Unidos!)
Celebrating God’s Goodness and Faithfulness
Today was such a special day for our team as we celebrated the grand opening of the Healing Nations Medical Ministry Center! Words cannot express our gratitude to God for His goodness and faithfulness in seeing this dream come to fruition. May many people come to know the Great Healer through this ministry! To God be the glory!
Leadership & Fun
After a long day yesterday, ending in an intense game of soccer with everyone, it was nice to get a chance to get away from the business of the church and have a leadership conference for the adults and teenagers. Alex started the meeting with informing the church that the vision for the next few years is to create a trade school for the youth when they get too old for the program at
Praying with Global Neighbors
This post by JanellOur morning discussion theme was unity, how the Spirit brings unity among believers from different backgrounds and nations, and how this draws people to Jesus. Pastor Shane reminded us of the value of praying aloud with others, not being afraid to ask, “Can I pray with you?” (rather than for you) This was a good challenge for me, because I usually reach out to people in prayer, but I had only been
Sharing God’s Love
This post by Jenn While we have been here in Honduras we have been having daily devotions in the morning. This morning our study was on service. As we went out today with the thoughts and scriptures of service on our hearts, I was looking around to see how I could serve and what I could contribute to the community and team. In the afternoon we went out into the local community in small
United in Christ
This post by Cassie Wow, what a beautiful day of being united in Christ! We started by being greeted by a large group of kids and their mothers. They were so excited to share with us everything they have been doing in their children’s church time. The presentation allowed for us to learn that they have been taking an hour each Sunday to do bible studies and learn and grow in Jesus, and then
The Grandest Welcome
This post by Keith When we first arrived and walked out of the airport, we found a large group of people. It surprised me to find that this large group of people was there to greet us! I never imagined that we would receive such a big and hospitable welcome. As we boarded the bus and began the drive to the hostel, I asked one of of the girls on the bus with us
