Guatemala, Sep 19-27, 2026, Family/Student Friendly, w/Nate Benard SR1753
Join us for a transformative week of service and connection in Panajachel, Guatemala, a vibrant town perched on the shores of Lake Atitlán - a crystal-blue, volcanic lake surrounded by towering volcanoes and lush highlands. The lake is not only breathtaking but is also home to various indigenous Mayan communities. In partnership with Casa Del Redentor (CDR), a ministry of North Metro Church in Marietta, Georgia, we will offer medical services to communities that CDR serves on a weekly basis through Bible, education and feeding programs. These medical services will be ones that are seldom available to these villages due to location and economic need.
We are assembling a medical team to provide compassionate care in Panajachel and the villages of Xecotoj, Patzazun, and Chuitziyut. This mission is an opportunity to use your professional skills in a meaningful way—bringing healing, hope, and tangible love to the people of Guatemala. Our team will enjoy special time together as we gather for daily devotions, worship and sharing, and experiencing the stunning beauty of Lake Atitlán.
We are seeking volunteers from the following backgrounds:
Physicians - Dentists - Nurse Practitioners - Physician Assistants - Dermatologists - Optometrists or Ophthalmologists - Dental Hygienists or Dental Assistants - Pharmacists - Nurses - Physical or Occupational Therapists - EMTs or Paramedics - Non-medical support staff
For more information, contact Nate Benard, the Assistant Team Leader, at [email protected].
