Capturing the Heart of the Mission![]()
![]()
Last year, Fort Smith FUMC member Joseph Udouj embarked on his third mission trip to Guatemala with Salud y Paz, and he captured something truly special during his time there. Joseph is a passionate videographer and used his talent to create a heartfelt video that tells the story of who Salud y Paz is and highlights the incredible impact teams have on the communities we serve. The video includes interviews with volunteers and staff, offering a personal connection to the mission and the people who make it all happen.![]()
![]()
Joseph is 20 years old. He earned the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout (like his favorite director Steven Spielberg!) and graduated high school in 2023. He currently works in the videography department at ArcBest Corporation, and he plans to continue pursuing his passion for documentary and short filmmaking in the future. His work with Salud y Paz is just one example of how he uses his talent to make a positive impact. We are excited to see where his passion for storytelling will take him next! You can see more of Joseph's work on his youtube channel.![]()

New Year, New Vision ✨![]()
![]()
A vision is the world we want to see in the future.![]()
![]()
Last year, the Salud y Paz board renewed its vision. As part of this process we reflected deeply on our past, honoring the legacy of our late founder, Dr. Phillip Plunk. We reflected on the stories he told as he invited others to join him to follow his calling.![]()
![]()
Dr. Plunk’s heart yearned for the Mayan communities who had suffered during the Guatemalan Internal Conflict. He saw with his own eyes the devastating effects the conflict had on families. As a dentist, he was determined to improve access to healthcare. As a man of faith, he was compelled by a long-term vision of dignity, empowerment.![]()
![]()
Grounded in our calling and inspired by the needs of our communities - now and into the future - we renewed our mission to promote access to healthcare and education to achieve our vision of thriving, healthy Mayan communities.![]()

We are honored to have you accompany us on this journey.![]()
