Faith In Practice

💛 An unforgettable evening. An extraordinary impact.

Our 2026 Known & Loved Annual Celebration was a beautiful testament to faith, compassion, and generosity as we raised $1.13 million to support life-changing healthcare in Guatemala! ✨

As we celebrated 32 years of service, we were reminded that every person deserves to be known, loved, and cared for.

Special thanks to our incredible Event Chairs, Dr. Mike and Julie Berend, and Co-Chairs, Norm and Donna Lewis, for their leadership and dedication.

To our sponsors, donors, honorees, volunteers, and entire Faith In Practice family, thank you for making this extraordinary evening possible!

Together, we are changing lives through faith in action and ensuring more patients and families are Known & Loved. 💛

✨ IT’S TODAY! Let’s celebrate being Known & Loved! 💙

Tonight, our Faith In Practice family gathers for an evening of faith, fellowship, and generosity bringing hope and healing to patients and families throughout Guatemala.

Join us as we honor Free Wheelchair Mission and the Profession of Orthopaedic Medicine, whose dedication helps restore mobility, independence, and dignity.

Faith to Walk Again 🙏🏼

For 75-year-old Doña Reyes Bautista, joy is cooking for her family, especially making tamales. Her wish was simple: to walk freely and return to the everyday activities she loves.

Life has not been easy. Her husband passed away at just 33, leaving her to raise and provide for their four children. Through years of hardship, her faith remained a source of strength.

With a smile and a laugh, she shared her hope: “God will make me walk again.”

After receiving her first knee surgery, Doña Reyes has now received surgery on her other knee through Faith In Practice. As she stood up, looking forward to leaving her wheelchair behind, she shared what this new beginning meant to her:

“After two years, I will be able to go to church.”

Her words remind us that surgery can mean so much more than physical healing. It can mean returning to worship, preparing a family meal, and reclaiming independence.

Stories like Doña Reyes’s are at the heart of Faith In Practice’s mission reflecting Christ’s love through compassionate care that changes lives. 💙

Every Step brings new Joy💙

“Now I can dance and do things by myself.”

With a contagious smile, 70-year-old Aura Luz Cunil whispered these words celebrating the joy of renewed independence.

Her journey with Faith In Practice began in March 2025, when she received surgery on her right knee. This year, she returned for surgery on her other knee, taking another hopeful step toward recovery.

For Aura Luz, the care she has received means more than surgery. It means feeling welcomed, cared for, and at home. Her gratitude reminds us that every patient’s journey is personal and every act of compassion can help someone embrace life’s simple joys again.

✨ Help make stories like Aura Luz’s possible. Join us for Known & Loved, Faith In Practice’s 2026 Annual Celebration, for an evening of fellowship and generosity supporting life-changing care in Guatemala.
