12 Jun Nicaragua Medical Team Leaves on June 13

A group of 26 people will leave for Nicaragua on Friday, June 13. They come from all over the denomination–from Kansas to the east coast. They’ll meet up in Houston and continue on to Managua together.

For many years, we have held annual medical clinics in Honduras, led by Robert and Fonda Cassidy (right) from Mt. Olivet UB church (Mt. Solon, Va.). Requests have come to expand the medical ministry to other Central American countries. This is the first attempt at that. The Cassidys are leading this Nicaragua team. Donna Hollopeter, associate director of Global Ministries, is also participating.

The team will be based at Rancho Ebenezer, a large facility located in the mountains outside of Masaya, Nicaragua. They will hold five clinics in different locations, starting on Saturday, June 14.  They will return to the United States on June 21.

On June 27, another team will head to Poland to conduct an English camp with missionaries Arek and Donna Delik. Donna Hollopeter, along with her husband Jason, will also take part in that trip.
