Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through teaching and healing ministries.
For Over 50 Years, We’ve Held Ourselves Accountable To the Following Values
-
We serve in the name of Jesus Christ and for His glory, sharing the Gospel through healing ministries.
-
We believe each person is made in the image of God and is worthy of respect and compassionate care from conception until natural death.
-
We partner with churches, organizations, and individuals in the United States and in Guatemala to promote Christian ministry and increase access to healthcare.
Through medical evangelism in Central America, HTI will nurture self-supporting and self-replicating bodies of Christ.
Glimpses of the Past, Eyes to the Future
Our 50th Anniversary video reflects on God’s faithfulness throughout the past while looking with hope toward the future. It offers glimpses of where Health Talents International began in 1973, the countless lives touched through decades of service in Guatemala, and the people—employees, volunteers, and patients—who have shaped our story. At the same time, it casts a vision forward, reminding us that the work is not finished and that God continues to call new hands and hearts to serve, heal, and walk alongside those in need.
Faces of Guatemala was created to celebrate Health Talents International’s 40 years of ministry and service in Guatemala. This video captures the heart of our mission through the faces and stories of the people we serve, the staff who walk alongside them daily, and the volunteers who give generously of their time and skills. It is a glimpse into God’s faithfulness over four decades and a reminder that behind every statistic is a life, a story, and a face deeply loved by God.
