We had an exceptional 14 days with a group from Lee University in Cleveland, TN. Every year we are so impressed with the students and their desire to serve God in everything they do. This year we were able to host 9 medical and optical brigades, 4 dental brigades, and 3 school visits. We had consults with over 700 patients and taught health and hygiene classes to over 200 stude...

God saw it fitting to include us in His plan to bring Wendy Yamileth Portillo into the world on January 15, 2011. Many of you remember the story of that scared young mom, who went into labor during a 3 day rainstorm that washed out large sections of our dirt road...the only way into the city for a hospital delivery.  Once the rains quieted, she and her husband sought help from ...

We have had a busy few months here at the Jungle Hospital, hosting guests, traveling, welcoming our summer interns and preparing for our next round of mission teams. We had a wonderful and productive visit with Dr. Trey Melker from Baton Rouge, LA back in April. Dr. Trey is a retired OBGYN who dedicates a several weeks a few times each year to serve with us in Honduras. We are ...

After missing one of our largest medical teams in 2012, Bay Community Church came back to us this year and was better than ever! This team had such a servant's heart, that even after long days of medical brigades they continued serving by doing dishes, helping prepare for the next meal, and packing medicines for the next brigade and for our pharmacy! Although their trip was c...

Douglas Senecal and his family of 5 stayed on at the jungle hospital anothe...

Merry Christmas from our Jungle Family to yours!

From the desk of Dr. Williams,  So as many of you may know, I began last week doing eye-glass brigades to one of the biggest hospitals in Honduras. The interesting part of this is that we aim to serve the hospital personnel; nurses, technicians, administrators, doctors- really, anyone associated with health. Ron White from Vision for Christ is an oculist that works in Ocala,...

As 2012 comes to a close and we begin to reflect on what God has done this year, we can’t help but be grateful for all of the Interns and Volunteers who dedicated time to serve alongside us. God can accomplish so much when we are willing to lay down our desires in favor of His plans, and this year was evidence to that. So thank you to all of those who submitted themselves to ou...
