MEDICAL MISSION
GUATEMALA, FEBRUARY 2025
The first medical team for 2025 will travel to Guatemala to host a 1-week clinic for the community of Santo Tomas. The team will also be in Guatemala to host the grand opening of the Medical Ministry Center.
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 day, to God be the
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!
