Health Care

Since many lower income families in Latin America have limited access to affordable healthcare, preventative and curative services can impact a needy community significantly. Caring for the physical needs of others has long been a cornerstone of Church outreach, and purposeful integration of healthcare and Christian witness is the key to successful ministry. This means attending to medical problems in such a way that wins an opportunity to share the Gospel message. Since people tend to be more open to the Gospel when they are physically ill, sensitivity to spiritual needs is paramount.

Medical care, nursing, dentistry, nutrition, hygiene, obstetrics, and ophthalmology are just a few of the areas where you can serve. Latin America Mission is committed to working with and through local church leadership to develop health-based ministries. If you have experience in any healthcare discipline (or interest in learning more), we would love to help you find the right ministry fit— connecting your gifts and calling with the needs of the Latin Church.
