Free Clinic in Patzutzun

Over the past few years, Casa del Redentor (Redeemer's House) has been able to develop links with other local and international nonprofit organizations and ministries that are constantly looking for new ways to help and bless Guatemala.

A few weeks ago, I got a call from Pastor Martin Mijango, who is a friend of Redeemer's House, asking me if we would be interested in collaborating with the missionary Karen Hembrough, a retired doctor from Texas who was coming to Guatemala with a group of evangelists and medical professionals to hold free clinics. I did not have to think too long and my immediate answer was yes!

So we decided to take Karen and her team to Patzutzun, the largest village where we work. We invited the whole village to be part of the free clinic, and they were excited because this is something that almost never happens.

On the day of the clinic, the missionary team presented a couple of story plays for more than 250 children who attended a school that day; even the teachers were so excited about this opportunity, and they allowed the children extra time outside to hear the message.

When we finished the activities with the children, there were approximately 50 people waiting to be seen by the doctors. Each one had their turn and received a bag with medicines, vitamins, and personal hygiene items. We had the opportunity to share the Gospel and pray for each of them before they returned to their homes.

Our friends from Texas were happy to work with us, and we said goodbye hoping to be able to do it again next year.

We get to partner with Redeemer's House to help people find and follow Jesus in Guatemala because of your obedience in giving. To get involved, you can go to northmetro.org/serve.
