Latin American Missions

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 NIV

Medical Clinics

Our teams have provided free medical and dental clinics in numerous villages in remote areas. Our team members have included doctors, physician assistants, nurses, dentists, hygienist, and medical technicians. We have taken medicines donated by doctors and pharmaceutical companies to give to the people in the clinics.

Medical Clinic in a remote village

The people we serve have little or no medical care. Our medical teams often do not have electricity or medical equipment other than what we bring. Working under difficult physical conditions, our teams have saved lives and relieved the suffering of many people. On one trip our dentist pulled several hundred abscessed teeth. We have set broken bones, cared for severe burn patients, treated infections and fungus, treated lice and skin disorders and many other illnesses. Many team members have said they were convinced had we not been there, many of the people would not have lived due the severity of their illness and lack of available health care.

Our teams conduct clinics for the people and they teach the local nurses and doctors modern medical techniques and about new medicines. They also conduct seminars to teach the people hygiene, healthy diet habits and disease prevention. Because of the lack of sanitation facilities and pure drinking water, parasites are a common problem and education is a key part of our effort to reduce infant mortality. We need all medical skills and donated medicines and supplies to continue this ministry.

Because malnutrition is a common problem we bring vitamins for adults and children.

Lice is a common problem and we treat them
and teach proper bathing techniques.
