Luis came into our medical clinic in Chimaltenango, Guatemala, physically and emotionally broken. He couldn’t hear out of his left ear and was suffering severe side effects from heavy drinking. A month earlier, his wife had left with their children, leading him into despair. As a JuveNet member translated for the nurses, they felt prompted to share their testimony with him. By the end, with tears streaming down his face, Luis expressed a desire to surrender to God and find peace.
They led him in a salvation prayer, and the transformation was immediate he appeared sober and visibly years younger. After praying for healing, his hearing was restored. Pastor Willie encouraged Luis to confess his sins, then gave him a fatherly embrace, which deeply touched him. Luis left the clinic rejuvenated and at peace, wearing a bracelet as a reminder of his new commitment to God.
The very next evening, Luis attended a church service with his family, their first-ever experience at church. He was filled with joy, worshipped wholeheartedly, and was among the first to respond to the altar call, praying on his knees. Luis’s life was truly transformed, both inside and out.
