Moving to Guatemala

So far...so good... The Lord is opening doors in Guatemala, we couldn't imagine. We have found a house in a gated community where my parents live, only one block away. We are so happy, Alianna will have her grandparents close, and we will have our family and friends close as well. We are very excited, I will finish my studies at the Universidad Mariano Galvez, it is a christian university recognized in the states, enabling me to sit for the USMLE board exam. Katherine and I will be working under Open Arms Refuge Ministries, working in collaboration with Jesus te Ama Missions, and AMENSI medical ministries in Guatemala.

Jesus te Ama ministries dedicates itself to providing school supplies to underprivileged children in impoverished towns, as well as, shoes, clothes, and bible studies, to Orphanages, and Children's Hospitals in Guatemala. My parents Pastors Santiago & Blanca Huitz are the founders of Jesus te Ama Missions, there vision is to bring the message of Jesus Christ to all the poor, abused , and abandoned children of Guatemala. Katherine and I will be helping, by any means necessary to bring these children to the Lord.

AMENSI, is part of the  Adventist  Medical Ministries dedicated to bringing, free-Christ-centered medical attention to the impoverished communities of Guatemala. Dr. Francisco Rivera is the director of the medical mission. He is dedicated to bringing,Doctors, medicines, interns, food, clothing, and equipment to understaffed medical clinics around the country. AMENSI provides a free medical clinic monthly in a different community, every month, attending close 600 patients daily. Katherine and I will be serving with Dr.Rivera's team, planning logistics, soliciting donations, and hosting short-term missions teams. I will be assisting Dr.Rivera, and Katherine will be working in Pharmacy.

We are very excited to be working with such a committed team, as well as working alongside the University Hospital, Casa Samuel Orphanage, Maria Vitteri Children's Hospital, and the Hospital for Cancer Research. The Lord has made it possible, that we have permission to pray and minister to patients in these Hospitals. We look forward to what God has in store, please join us in prayer for direction in Guatemala.
