Guatemala Medical Mission | January 11-18, 2025
We are excited to be sending a medical mission trip to Guatemala! During this medical mission trip our team, which is primarily made up of medical professionals, will serve by providing spiritual and medical care to the community of San Juan Sacatapequez, Guatemala.
We have had the privilege to offer medical services to poverty stricken areas of the world while partnering with pastors and churches to share the gospel with unchurched people over the years. From 2007 through 2020 Woodlands has sponsored over 25 medical mission trips to Central and South America. Below are documents that will give you insign into these trips. If you would like mor information about the upcoming trip to Guatemala, reach out to Vicki Neumueller, vicki@woodlandschurch.org.
Global Welcome Ministry
SERVING New International Neighbors
The Global Welcome Ministry serves international communities in Central Wisconsin by being a welcoming and hospitable body of Christ-followers to those from different language and cultural backgrounds. We look to resource and provide opportunities to do just that in and around Central Wisconsin.
SERVING REFUGEES
We are taking steps as a church to help the refugees who are in Wisconsin and we would love to have you join us.
Concern for the Poor
We have a growing commitment to find practical ways to join with organizations and churches around the world that work and minister among the physically as well as the spiritually needy people of the world.
Learn More
We have found that one of the best ways to help the poor is through organizations that have a long track record of successfully helping people who live in poverty all over the world. It is also helpful to choose a practical, regular, hands on way to do that.
We recommend that you consider sponsoring a child in need through Compassion International. Woodlands has established partnerships with Child Development Centers in Cochabamba, Bolivia and in Ghana, Africa, but Compassion is in countries across the world. We encourage you to consider sponsoring a child – in Bolivia, Ghana or, in any area of the world that is of interest to you. To learn more about Compassion and child sponsorship, please click the Compassion box below. To learn about our specific connections in Bolivia and Ghana, reach out to Whitney Swenson.
Missionary Support & Care
We support a growing number of people and organizations who share the love of Christ with people around the world. We want to excel at raising up and supporting people who are actively involved in fulfilling Christ’s great commission. (Matthew 28:18-20)
We encourage you to learn more about the people we support. You can find current pictures of our missionaries and ways to pray for them by picking up a pamphlet at our Info Center.
*Many of our missionaries are working in areas of the world that are hostile to the gospel of Jesus Christ and actively root out those working for this cause. Because of that, please do not share any of the printed material electronically (via social media, email, etc.)
