Luke Society’s impact:

“There are many people suffering from a lack of proper diagnosis; here they have been healed. On the other hand, there are social, political, and economic processes in our communities that have seen the light of the Gospel, and this is a change not only here but for eternity. Without our relationship with the Luke Society, this would not be possible. God brought us together for His glory.”

― DR. AXEL SUQUEN

Patzun, Guatemala

“We’ve seen the transformation life of the community from an unreached people group to grow and develop as an open people group, reducing of the mortality rate, a constant availability of the medicine and medical care provided by the trained local health workers to the community. The increasing of the population from 10,000 to 25,000 people. The growing of the churches from five churches to 54 churches, including providing the Bible School facility and program.”
