WISCONSIN MISSION TEAM

Cedarcreek Community Church

Our team was made up of nurses, nursing aides, a pre-medical student, pastor, and lay-people who worked in evangelism and pharmacy.  We hailed from throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota.  Only three of us had been on previous mission trips.

MY HOST FAMILY

Each missionary stayed with a host family from the church in La Ceiba.  Our hosts were Jose Ramon, Mildred, and their son, Sergio.  I stayed with the other nurse on the team.  We are pictured here in the backyard of our home.  It was a beautiful adobe house with air-conditioned bedrooms and a patio complete with palm trees.

SALUD TOTALE

Salud Totale

The clinic sits high on a hill above the city, overlooking La Ceiba and the Carribean.  To the west, the tallest peak in Honduras towers above the jungle.  Isolated from the sounds and smells of the city, the clinic site was like a sanctuary where it was easy to focus on God's hand in our work.

OUR BRAVE LEADERS

Pictured here are Paul (left) and Dave.  Paul worked hard in the evangelism department, experiencing many defining moments with the very ill accepting salvation.  Dave is our pastor and general coordinator of the trip.  Here they are trying to find their heartbeats with stethoscopes.  Despite their brilliance in their chosen areas of work, they had an amazingly difficult time finding their own heartbeat!

Our translators were all children and teenagers from the church.  Pictured with us here are Carla and Rebecca, two of our favorites.  Sometimes they even acted as consultants for the medical personnel, recognizing diseases common to the community that are not common in the midwestern U.S.!  The biggest challenges of medical missions can be the language barrier and recognition of foreign diseases, and these children were a great help with both!
