Word & Deed Monthly Update - Due to a decrease in funding from Europe, Word & Deed N. America recently committed to supporting a rural hospital in Cubulco, Guatemala for 3 years. John Otten, our Director of Administration - Canada, ran the hospital for 17 years until he returned to Canada. The hospital, overseen by our partner, AMG Guatemala, has 14 beds, 24 hour emergency services, a pharmacy, and four doctors who give medical consultations and carry out minor surgeries with a commendable overall 70% self-sufficiency. Most importantly, the Gospel is shared with many of the 14,000 patients that are seen each year. Please pray for the staff and patients as well as the chaplain, who ministers to their spiritual needs of this important ministry. The Heritage Voices choir will begin practicing for the Christmas season on Monday, October 15, D.V. We would like to invite new member to join us and are especially looking for Altos.
