Summer Medical Institute 2009

Praise God for His faithfulness and power. This past July, our team of health professional students, residents, translators, and pastors were privileged to have experienced the joy that sharing Jesus with others brings. In the poorest colonias of Texas, God showed us that when we do not have anything to hold onto, He is more than enough. He loves for and cares for each of us so deeply, and wants to be intimately involved in our lives. This is what He showed us, as He changed the hearts of many this summer. The team has many stories to share, and we welcome you to join in our experience with us as you read our testimonies.

 

To see what we experienced, here are some pictures from the summer:
