Last week we reached a HUGE milestone as we dedicated two NEW floors at St. Luke’s Hospital! Healthcare access Saves Lives, and we are proud to announce the dedication of two fully operational floors at the new St. Luke’s Hospital in Guatemala. ? The first floor will serve as an updated rescue center, providing emergency medical care to children who need it most. ? The top floor is now home to a new dermatology center, already offering life-changing treatments to patients who previously had no access to specialized care. While construction continues on the remaining floors, these completed spaces are already serving the community: providing accessible, high-quality healthcare for all! To our partners, donors, and supporters, thank you for making this possible. Let’s continue building a brighter future together! ??

We believe strong leadership is the foundation of sustainable transformation. That’s why we were honored to host a Guatemalan Pastors Conference, led by pastors from InTouch Ministries.

Leadership isn’t just about influence—it’s about empowering others to create lasting change.
