Gerber & Michelle Perez
Mission Impact/Healthy Communities
Bio
I am Guatemalan, and my wife, Michelle, is from California. Together, we have four children, and we have made Guatemala our home as we serve through Mission Impact, where I lead the Healthy Communities ministry. Our mission is to address both the physical and spiritual needs of the communities we serve through healthcare, education, and discipleship.
Our ministry includes running medical clinics, a diabetes support program, and a nutrition program for children. We also support local schools by providing teachers and resources, and we are involved in an early childhood educational program, helping young children get a strong start in their learning journey. Michelle, with her Master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Santa Barbara, plays a key role in shaping our educational initiatives.
Through the ups and downs of this journey, we’ve seen God’s hand at work in the lives of the people we serve and in our own family. We are deeply grateful for the prayers and support from Landmark Church as we continue to walk in faith and serve in Guatemala.
About Their Organization
Gerber and Michelle Perez lead Healthy Communities Guatemala, a ministry dedicated to improving lives in rural Guatemala through healthcare, education, and sustainable development. Originally from Guatemala and California, respectively, they now call Guatemala home, where they live with their four children.
Healthy Communities addresses urgent community needs, from running a community clinic and supporting child nutrition programs to educational and water and sanitation initiatives. Recently, they built a preschool in an underserved area, giving young children a safe place to start their educational journey. With a strong background in community development, Gerber has guided Healthy Communities toward becoming a vital support system in some of Guatemala's most vulnerable communities.
Their work is made possible by a network of partnerships with local churches, universities, and volunteers, creating a collaborative effort to bring lasting change. The support from Landmark Church has been a constant encouragement as they continue their mission of hope and empowerment in Guatemala.
