Beyond Partnership Medical Mission to Nicaragua 2012
May 5-13, 2012
Come be a part of an amazing ministry that is transforming
one of the poorest areas of Nicaragua. The medical
teams we have brought over the past 4 years to NW
Nicaragua have helped the ministry enter in many
new villages, seriously address many health issues,
and are now working on larger economic issues having
started a training farm to provide peasant farmers
with better ways of making a living for their family.
The medical team is an integral part in what God
is doing to change thousands of lives of those who
have been forgotten by everyone else. Please consider
joining us next spring, using your medical talents
to help those less fortunate. There is a contribution
of $1,700 per person that will cover costs for flight,
accommodations, food, ground transport, travel insurance,
mobilization of nationals, tips, etc. Additional
money will need to be raised for medical supplies
to be used in Nicaragua. All medical backgrounds
are encouraged to help this population of deprived
medical care. Non-Medical personnel are welcomed
to help as well. Dr. Thanh Nguyen will be there
along with others. Join this mission and help change
lives.
