Our Work


During the summer months, the clinic is busy with groups from the United States and Canada who come for a week for a short-term mission trip. During the week, the groups are involved in chapel, work projects, VBS and film ministry. They also attend the church services offered throughout the week. During the other months, La Esperanza hosts various medical teams who come from anywhere from a weekend to three months.

These medical teams include dentists, chiropractors, audiologists, ophthalmologists, general practitioners, nurse practitioners and more. The people in the camps are blessed by the services provided by these professionals, but, more importantly, each person that comes to the clinic hears the Good News of Jesus Christ our Savior. La Esperanza is a growing ministry with various outreaches. Please consider joining our team and changing lives both physically and spiritually.
