Before sunrise, they began a journey of more than 12 hours crossing long roads and remote terrain with one purpose: making sure women are not forgotten. 💜 Between 27 nurses and doctors from Guatemala united by one purpose: learning the IVAA technique to bring lifesaving women’s healthcare back to their communities.

This week in Playa Grande Ixcán, Quiché, healthcare professionals from across Guatemala are training together to strengthen cervical cancer prevention efforts and serve nearly 800 women from remote villages.

For many women, access to preventive care is limited by distance, resources, and opportunity. Through this training, these providers are helping change that reality bringing education, early detection, and compassionate care closer to home.

Every lesson learned, every mile traveled, and every patient served is part of a greater mission: ensuring women in rural communities are seen, cared for, and protected.🇬🇹✨

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication will never be forgotten.

At Faith In Practice, we are grateful for the freedoms we enjoy because of those who served with honor and gave everything for others. May we carry their legacy forward with compassion, service, and gratitude. ❤️

At Faith In Practice, we have learned that serving is more than helping… it is giving your time, love, and heart. 💙

Every experience, every patient, and every story leaves a lasting mark on our lives. Because many times, we come thinking we are here to give, but in the end, we receive so much more.

Here, we discovered that serving transforms, inspires, and fills the soul. Women who lead with their hearts, inspire through example, and serve with passion. 🙌✨

We thank God for the opportunity to be part of this mission, for teaching us to value what we have and share it with those who need it most.

Serving at Faith In Practice not only changes lives… it changes ours too. 💫

Beneath the trees of the hospital courtyard, little Yeicob rested peacefully in his mother’s arms, unaware that this week would begin changing his future. 💙

At only 11 months old, Yeicob was born with syndactyly in both hands and polydactyly in his feet. To him, his tiny hands are all he has ever known. But without surgery, simple childhood milestones like counting, holding a pencil, or grasping his mother’s hand could become difficult as he grows.

This week, Drs. Ben and Janae Kittinger performed the first surgery to separate his webbed fingers. The beginning of a long healing journey that will give Yeicob greater freedom, mobility, and opportunity as he grows.

Because of donors like YOU, children like Yeicob are given the chance to thrive, dream, play, and experience childhood with new possibilities ahead of them.

A special thank you to Team T. Davis 906, and to Michelle and Daniel Montes, whose storytelling and photography helped bring Yeicob’s journey to life. 💛
