CLINICA EZELL
This month we were blessed to host two surgery clinics at Clinica Ezell. The first week focused on General and GYN surgeries, where many patients arrived suffering from pain and ongoing conditions. They received the surgeries they needed, along with compassion and care and the love of Christ poured out through the hands of the medical team.
The second week was dedicated to eye surgeries. Many who came to the clinic were barely able to see or could not see at all due to severe cataracts, yet they left rejoicing—able once again to see and look into the faces of their loved ones.
Both weeks overflowed with care, love, and countless blessings for the patients, their families, and the team that provided the care.
HOME CONSTRUCTION
This month, thanks to generous donations, we were able to construct and build a home for Maria Lorenzo and her family. Her husband Luis helped us during the entire build and at the end, during the house blessing and invitation to accept Jesus as their personal savior, was visibly shaken and in tears. He had been drinking heavily in the past and Jeremias and Fidel were able to council and comfort him as he is seeking to change his life and center it around Jesus Christ. We will continue to followup with the family and encourage them to be consistent in their church attendance.
In addition to the construction of Luis and Maria's home we were able to install 15 rain catchment systems for the community. The community is still without the availability of consistent water due to the earthquake in July. They are so grateful to receive a way to collect water for their cooking, washing, and bathing. We have had the privilege of installing 39 rain systems in the past 3 months. We will continue to install over the next several months as the list of families asking for the system is now several pages long.
Each family we build a home for or install a rain system receives a bible, a hug, and most importantly the Gospel presented to them in their own language of Kaqchikel and the prayer of salvation.
CHILDREN'S FEEDING CENTER
We had the joy of feeding the children again this past month, and it continues to be one of the true highlights of our ministry. After nearly 13 years of serving these precious little ones, we’ve had the blessing of watching many of them grow into young men and women who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Even more encouraging, many have gone to seminary here in Guatemala and are now serving at Campos, pouring back into the children each week just as others once poured into them. The older children are now being split out in boys and girls classes after the worship time and these leaders are ministering to them in a small group setting. This is allowing the older kids to get deeper in the Word and to have small group discussions at their own level.
