If you are new to our ministry, please click here to know more about where and why we are where we are. Our 5 villages have less than 10,000 people and have two working medical/dental clinics that we will partner with, expanding to the 2nd (& perhaps even 3rd) most likely on this 2021 visit. We are also, as mentioned, able to expand further to many other clinics surrounding the city of Ica, if the resources present themselves as we have a wonderful and enthusiastic receptive dental community here that is quite receptive to the help offered. Please pray for our ministry and those that may come to help. ‘The harvest is plentiful, the workers are few”!! Want to join us? Please complete the application below, and if you are a Dentist, please also use the 2nd link to submit your credentials so we can pre-clear you to do dental services in Peru.
Last thoughts ….
- Cost are aimed to be kept at a minimum with missionary housing and meals.
- It is important to book early to communicate your credentials to the clinics in Peru.
