 Guatemala 2009

What an incredible experience!  We returned back from Guatemala the end of October.  It is an extremely gorgeous country full of lush vegetation and 23 incredible volcanoes.  The people were very warm and welcoming to our missionaries.   We were blessed with beautiful weather, great food, and pleasant accommodations.   God gave us the opportunity minister to just over 2,800 men, women, and children in the 5 days we had the clinics open.  We set up the clinics in 3 different locations in the 5 days.  Patients walked for miles just to see a doctor or dentist. Because of your wonderful generosity, we had medicine and vitamins for all 2,800 people.  No one went home empty handed! 

Here is the tentative schedule for the upcoming trips. All trips are one week long. 

•  Feb 6,2010: San Jose Iturbe, Guanajuato, Mexico. 

  (Feb trip is on hold due to violence in Mexico.  Update when new info is available)

•  October 2010: Diocese of Esteli, Nicarauga. 
•  Feb. 2011: Tequilla, Jalisco, Mexico.
•  October 2011: Cusco, Peru.   

Please be aware that circumstances and permits in these foreign countries can affect our plans

Our Goal as a Team 

The goal of our medical missionary team is to provide health care services to poverty stricken families in the Mexico and Central/South American countries. Many of the villagers are farm laborers and earn meager wages for a day's work. Due to the remoteness and isolation, along with the non-availability of health care services, this has created dire hardship for the people in these areas.

We travel 2-4 times a year with medicines, doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, interpreters, and medical support staff.  Our trips are usually a week in length and involve setting up clinics in remote areas and ministering to small communities.  A typical mission will see between 2000-3000 adults and children in 5 days. Some of these patients will travel for hours to stand in line to see a doctor. 

Many times we see children that have never seen
a doctor or dentist in their lives.

Our organization runs completely on the generosity of people like you.  We need donations of medicines, supplies, monetary funds, and we are always looking for volunteers to join us on the next mission. 

If this site sparks an interest, we’d love to hear from you. Please pass this site on to friends, family and co-workers that you feel may be touched by our mission.
