San Andrés, Guatemala is an overlooked and underserved town located about 8 km from Panajachel in the Department of Sololá near Lake Atitlan. The population of the area is approximately 20,000 people. Mission Guatemala has located an old restaurant building that is centrally located on the main highway. We plan to turn this building into the new clinic that will serve the region above Lake Atitlan. The clinic can easily serve 50 to 100 patients per week. This location also provides space for community health education programs and other community events. We need help to renovate the clinic building and get it ready for operation. There are also other buildings on the property that need up-dating and repairs. We welcome medical teams to provide additional care for the people of San Andrés and the region. Pastor Tom Heaton is an Elder in the Indiana Conference appointed to this mission by Bishop Coyner.
