For 10 days in July, a group representing the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota works with local Episcopal partners, Padre Dr. Roberto and the members of San Marcos Parish (St. Mark’s) in Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala.
The team provides basic medical and dental care and leaves money with Padre Roberto (a physician) for follow-up testing and treatment of more difficult situations. On a recent trip they found a baby with a loud heart murmur. The child was further evaluated and found to have a life threatening congenital heart problem. He had successful heart surgery and on our last visit was a healthy, happy, growing child. Financial assistance from the mission team made the survival of this miracle baby possible.
