Dental and Medical Clinics
Since 1986 Agua Viva Ministries (AVM) has reached Mexico for Christ by partnering medical, dental and optometry providers from the US and Canada with underserved, remote communities surrounding the Ensenada, BC; Mexico. AVM believes that serving the physical needs of rural communities and using the gift of medicine can be used to draw people in and open doors to share the gospel.
AVM programs teams for short-term mission trips year-round. Makeshift clinics are set up either in rural churches or lean-to shelters. Each day you are scheduled in a new location. Local Mexican christian doctors and dentists will accompany you to each site and will facilitate patient follow up and ensure legal coverage. Statistics show that the best way to reach an area with the gospel is to use national christians. AVM believes in partnerships; thus, churches, local pastors and trained christian leaders in the communities are present to assist you and to provide counseling and prayer stations during the clinics. Though not required, we encourage family members to join you and serve in your choice of children’s and women’s programs and sports clinics. We will customize your short-term mission according to your gifting.
AVM provides your group with housing and delicious, authentic Mexican meals, pre-trip training materials, intake forms, chairs, tables, translators and missionary guides to accompany teams as they minister. All sites are vetted and programmed prior to your arrival. We will purchase all medications and provide promotion material to the churches to distribute in their communities.
You will be housed in our safe, gated, 142 acre Rancho Agua Viva compound in the beautiful, rural, hill country east of Ensenada, BC; Mexico.
Cost varies depending on the size of your team and the number of days serving.
