Outlook Mountain Mission, Inc. OMMI is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing compassionate, Christ-centered healthcare to underserved communities throughout Guatemala. Our mission is to partner with local churches to establish and sustain medical clinics that provide free, quality healthcare while serving as an extension of the Gospel.

Since 2011, The Gathering Community Church, in partnership with Mission Serve, numerous churches throughout the Southeast, and churches along the East Coast, has worked alongside Central Missionary Baptist Church in Jalapa, Guatemala, to plant churches in communities throughout the surrounding region. Together, we have participated in church construction projects, Vacation Bible Schools, pastor training, and biannual mobile medical clinics.

These mobile clinics exist to demonstrate the love of Christ in a practical and tangible way by providing medical care to individuals and families who would otherwise have little or no access to healthcare. Twice each year, during January/February and July/August, volunteer medical teams serve for one week, providing free medical evaluations, treatment, and medications to approximately 1,200 to 1,500 patients during each clinic. These outreach clinics remain an important part of our ministry and will continue to be funded and operated by our church.

In 2021, leaders of Central Missionary Baptist Church approached us with a vision for something even greater. The vision was for permanent medical clinics located alongside local churches throughout Guatemala. Unlike the temporary mobile clinics, these brick-and-mortar facilities would provide year-round access to healthcare, chronic disease management, and essential medications at no cost to patients. Through these clinics, local churches would be equipped to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of their communities every day of the year.

Thanks to the generosity and faithfulness of our donors, OMMI was able to purchase property and construct its first permanent medical clinic in the community of Conrado de la Cruz, located in the department of Suchitepéquez on Guatemala’s southwestern Pacific coastal plain. The clinic officially opened in January 2023 and has since become a vital source of healthcare and hope for the surrounding communities.

Today, OMMI is working alongside a local church in Jalapa to establish a second clinic that will serve the community of Las Marías. Pastor Carlos, who founded the Filadelphia Church in Las Marías as well as its sister church in El Sapote, San Pedro Pinula, faithfully served these communities until his passing in 2020. Since that time, the church in Las Marías has remained largely inactive, and the pastor of the sister church has faced the challenge of balancing full-time employment while shepherding the congregation.

Over the past two years, OMMI and Mission Serve have partnered with Pastor Carlos’s family to minister in Las Marías. This year, the family invited us to help revitalize the ministry by assisting in the placement of a new pastor and establishing a permanent medical clinic on the church property. Together, these efforts will provide a powerful opportunity to reach the community by meeting both physical and spiritual needs while restoring a vibrant local church ministry.

OMMI’s model is unique because we work directly through established Guatemalan churches. While these churches possess the vision and commitment to care for their neighbors, the financial burden of purchasing land, constructing medical facilities, obtaining medical licensing, and sustaining clinic operations is simply beyond their means.

Through the generosity of faithful supporters, OMMI helps make these ministries possible. Every donation directly impacts lives by expanding access to healthcare, strengthening local churches, and sharing the love and hope of Jesus Christ with those who need it most.

We invite you to prayerfully partner with us in this mission. Together, we can continue bringing healing, hope, and the Gospel to communities throughout Guatemala.

Please consider making a financial contribution today. Your generosity will help provide life-changing medical care while advancing the Kingdom of God, one community at a time.
