We just got an update from our students and faculty in Guatemala! ⬇️
We had safe flights and travels into Canilla and are grateful to have arrived well. Over the past few days, our team has had many meaningful opportunities to serve and connect with the people here in Guatemala.
Our group has spent time with missionary kids sharing Bible lessons and activities as well as visited a local school where we taught the stories of Daniel in the lions’ den and Joseph and his brothers, reminding the children that God loves us always and is with us through every circumstance.
We also traveled to a clinic in the mountains that primarily serves indigenous Guatemalan communities. There, students assisted with assessments and vital signs while learning more about healthcare challenges in rural areas. Two of our students were also able to visit a widow in her home because she is too ill to travel to the clinic herself.
Today in Canilla, we cared for many prenatal patients, pediatric patients, and individuals managing chronic conditions such as high blood pressure. It has been a humbling and rewarding experience to serve alongside the local healthcare team and community.
We are looking forward to the rest of the week and are excited to see what God will continue to reveal to us in the coming days. Please continue thinking about us and praying for our team, the patients we serve, and the communities welcoming us so warmly.
