We have so many big things going on here in the Jungle as the Lord continues to bless this ministry and expand our influence. Here’s an update on all the things that have happened and will continue to happen with your support here in Rio Viejo!  Let's start by taking a look at everything that’s already been accomplished so far.

As of October 1, 2022, the Jungle Hospital welcomed four new staff members. Each one of them was called to missions at different times and stages of their lives, and each was compelled to begin that work here at the Jungle Hospital. So, without further adieu, meet our new staff members!  Lisa Field, MSN, FNP: Lisa came to Honduras on her first medical missions tri...

Well that’s a wrap on an incredibly busy team’s season for the Jungle Hospital. This summer we were joined by one J-Team intern (Madison Grimstad from Montana) and a one-year intern (McKenzie “Macky” McLeod from Alabama). These girls hit the ground running by flying in on the same day as a construction team from City Hope Church from Malbis, Alabama. This team consisted of 16 ...

We had a wonderful week serving alongside River Valley Church medical team! Despite their trip being cut short a day due to a flight cancellation, it didn’t stop them from arriving with huge smiles on their faces and ready to love on everyone they saw. Check out these highlights from a few of their team members: Max Lundeen: Physician Assistant/Team Leader DAY 1: Tra...

We are overwhelmed with thankfulness that things are slowly getting back to “normal” even in the midst of covid-19. Honduras’s borders re-opened in late 2020 and this year we were able to host medical and construction teams as normal here in Rio Viejo. City Hope church church partnered with us in 2021 and sent two construction teams that helped us continue with the expansi...

In November 2021, we got the opportunity and great privilege of hosting Pastor Jerry Taylor and the CityHope Construction team. Though the rainy season was upon us, the construction team set out to complete two roofs. One roof for each of the houses that we completed over the summer months. We knew that it would be a treacherous, nearly impossible job to complete if the tin wa...

God is fulfilling His promise to send volunteers to serve alongside us. We partnered with Samaritan’s purse in 2018, and what a blessing they have been! World Medical Mission, the medical arm of SP has sent us so many wonderful short-term volunteers. We are excited to receive our first post-resident doctor who will serve at our hospital for two years. Dr. Grace arrives in J...

They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water - Isaiah 49:10 In the Cuenca Cangrejal each local village is supported by their own spring fed water system that is located deep within the mountains. These water systems are built to last for 20 year...

What a week we have had with City Hope and Celebration Church medical team. This group couldn’t have made for a better finish to our 2021 team season. Before the team arrived, we knew we were preparing for a large undertaking. It’s safe to say that there was even a little apprehension. This combo team was our largest of the summer and a large blessing as well.  From th...

We were blessed to have Lee University and iHeart Church medical students and professionals join us in June. We also had the privilege of hosting our great friend Chunky Miller and his family. The Lee University team was with us for two weeks. During their first week, the Lee students assisted us with patient consult in the hospital and helped us to prepare for the iHeart ...
