Short-Term Mission To Guatemala

The following is a report from Mission Hills Church in Littleton, Colorado on their recent short-term mission trip to Guatemala.

We are back from Guatemala. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. We had an incredible trip. We experienced God’s care and blessing multiple times during the trip.

First, one of our team members lost their families passports somewhere between security check-in at Denver and boarding the plane. We sought God’s help. She found it under her seat half-way to Dallas. Not sure how that happened.

Second, we were unable to land at Dallas airport because it was closed due to a storm. We had to land in Abilene Texas to refuel. When we finally got to Dallas we had only 18 minutes to make our flight to Guatemala. That flight was delayed also due to the storm. We all made it on the plane in time.

Third, one of our team members was coming to Guatemala from Costa Rica. She was waiting for us at the airport in Guatemala City even though we were 2.5 hours late. Our team and our medical supplies all arrived due to God’s provisions and your prayers.

Dr. Gomez and his Global CHE workers transported us to Huehuetanango and then to the village of Cieneguillas.

We set up our clinic in this village in the northwest highlands of Guatemala. During our time in the village we treated over 200 patients, ministered to over 50 women through Bible study and illustrative, taught over 30 children and worked on the foundation for the new church in the village.

Your donations provided medications, supplies, and resources for Dr. Gomez and his workers. Every dollar designated for medical supplies purchased 7 dollars worth of medications. Your generosity also provided nearly $5,000 for Dr. Gomez and his team to use for Global CHE projects.

We saw several people pray to receive Christ. The pastor and his congregants were overwhelmed with joy and praise to God for what was accomplished in the week our team was in the village. They send their praises and God’s blessings to you.

Thank you again for your prayers and gifts. Dr. Gomez and his team are tireless workers for the cause of Christ in Guatemala.

God bless you.
