BABY RESCUES
We have the great pleasure and blessing of being the hands and feet to walk and carry God’s precious children away from the brinks of death every single week. In just the past three weeks, fifteen babies and children have been rescued from their villages and are now being cared for by the more than capable hands of our medical staff, and being continually loved on by their mothers throughout the healing process.

RESTORING HOMES... In 2005, Hurricane Stan swept over the lush forests of Guatemala leaving in its wake tremendous mudslides and torrential rain. More than 1,600 people were declared dead and hundreds more were never found. The final death toll was never determined due to the extensive damage throughout the region.

WATER FOR LIFE Over 98% of the water in Guatemala is contaminated resulting in thousands of deaths each year—regrettably, most are children. Drinking unclean water leads to a number of life-threatening illnesses including diarrhea, malaria, typhoid, cholera, worms and parasites, and many others. Diarrhea caused by contaminated water is the leading cause of death in infants under the age of five.

A CRY OF HOPE, Hope of Life International discovered 3-year-old Elvira living on the bank of a muddy river with her mother and two brothers. She weighed just three pounds. She was so close to dying of starvation that her body had begun to deteriorate and her skin was an ashy gray. She hardly cried—she was too weak and listless from hunger.
