Evangelism, personal ministry, and miracles happen every week in the clinic. It is amazing to us how God continues to supply our needs for these programs so that we can offer our services without charging. Most of these programs don’t exist anywhere else in the Quiche´ area. Our clinic had over 15,000 visits during 2012. Short-Term Teams from the United States and Mexico
ASELSI hosted a total of 34 short-term teams in 2012, and we have already scheduled 22 teams for 2013. We direct each team’s efforts towards our students and their villages, churches/ministries and needy families from our clinic programs. These groups have a major impact on the health of many families in our area, bringing important teachings and new insight into the Word to our students and local pastors and leaders, reaching 1000’s of children with the Gospel, feeding the hungry, and bringing the clinic from ground level up to the roof level. It always amazes us at how "ordinary people do such extraordinary things" with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. High Quest Discipleship Program
Miguel Angel Morales, a graduate from our Bible Institute and now one of our professors, is Director of this program which has fourteen centers of discipleship and a total of 334 disciples! This program is sponsored by two brothers from Columbia, MO who have a heart to see men and women go deep into the Word and also into relationships of accountability. This is not something we have ever seen done in our area of Guatemala but it is a program that continues to grow and those who are involved are excited about the personal and spiritual growth in their lives.
