With Loxley First Baptist, three families of the HHG staff and an OB/GYN combined, we had a diverse and fun educational team from July 1-8th. These guys came prepared with skits, dramas, puppets and supplies to start out our summer education visits to the local schools. We began the week with our prep day on Sunday, which included preparing student bags, teacher gift bags, a...

Every year, we have the privilege of hosting a team from our Alma Mater: Lee University. This team was once again filled with incredible students and doctors who came prepared with medicine and supplies for their two weeks of mobile medical and dental clinics. A highlight of their time here was our hike out to the village of La Muralla. We've had many patients come to our ho...

It's always been a desire of Dr. Martin that the Jungle Hospital be a learning environment: a place where students come to learn about medicine in the Third World and about life on the mission field. We see this dream becoming a reality more and more each month as we not only receive more teams, but we take on more volunteers and interns all coming to lend a helping hand. Jo...

Last year marked a huge milestone for the Jungle Hospital as we partnered with Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This April we received two pediatric residents, Dr. Alma Cruz and Dr. Rebekah Dickman, for a few well spent weeks in the jungle. During their stay at the Jungle Hospital, they were able to provide the kids at Give Hope to Kids Children's Home w...

March is here, friends! Is your year flying by as fast as ours? Our first medical team of the season was one of the most stellar, star-packed crews we’ve ever had the pleasure of serving with. The coolest part? It was two church groups who had never even met before, yet melded perfectly from the first second like long-lost friends. Our staff couldn’t even pick out who came ...

Welcome to the Jungle, Dr. Brittany and Garrett! February brought us two new crew members and what a blast it has been getting to know them. Even though Dr. Brittany was only here for a 4-week rotation, she immediately fit in as a part of the family! Dr. Brittany was our first resident of the year from our new partnership with Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louis...

Well, friends, it’s hard to believe it’s already 2017! We had such a wonderful and restful “down season”-- those quieter months of the year where teams don’t come and the rain seems to pour every day. We worked our way through project lists, saw patients, and welcomed a new team member: Alex was a J-Team summer intern in 2014, and after graduating from Boston University,...

Our last team of the summer season was Princeton Church hosting their first team to Honduras. Their church has supported our ministry for years, but this July was their first time to come and see the ministry they had spoken about for years now. Their team was made up of quite a few teenagers and kids, filling the team with vivacity and boldness to love on the kids they saw...

With Loxley First Baptist and Loxley Church of God united, we had this fun education team from July 8-July 15. Arriving and departing on Friday instead of Saturday made the schedule slightly different, but Loxley came with preparation and drive that overcame any such schedule inconvenience. Traveling Friday and practicing skits on Saturday launched us into a busy week. On Sunda...
