Team Hope 2025: A Week of Healing and Hope

Last week, Team Hope — our largest service trip of the year — brought together doctors, nurses, and volunteers from around the world to serve families in Guatemala. Over the course of four days, lives were transformed through access to health care, surgery, and healthier homes.

Together, we accomplished:


• 154 life-changing surgeries

• 997 patients were seen in our medical clinics

• 126 families received smoke-free stoves and clean water filters
  

Every number represents a powerful story: a mother cooking without smoke filling her home, a parent receiving long-awaited surgery, and a family finally gaining access to safe drinking water.


We are deeply grateful to every volunteer, partner, and supporter who made this possible. 

Team Hope is more than a week of service — it is proof that compassion, collaboration, and generosity can change lives. And it doesn’t just change the lives of the families we serve — it changes the lives of our volunteers, too.

Every person who joins a mission returns home with a renewed sense of purpose, a deeper connection to humanity, and the knowledge that they made a tangible impact. Whether you are a medical professional, or simply someone with a willing heart, there is a place for you on our teams.
