I've desperately wanted to go on medical missions since I started in the medical field as a radiographer. But I searched and there were very limited options for an x-ray tech. Most underprivileged countries don't even have basic medical equipment let alone x-ray equipment. So knowing I could do more with my skills and what God has given me, I went to PA school. I knew it would be more challenging and at times I'm not really sure why God wanted me to do this, but I trust God with His plan for my life. My favorite part of being a PA is that I have the opportunity to make longer lasting relationships with my patients. That is the part that makes it all worth it for me! In addition, I knew it would give me the skills to become more active in medical missions. 

I've gone back and forth on deciding this mainly because I was unsure of the timing, but I've officially committed. Honestly, what better time is there! I will just need some help and lots of prayers!

God is at work in Ecuador, opening the eyes of individuals to the gift of God's grace.  Pastors in Ibarra are looking forward to our team coming to partner with their church members.  Together, we will share our testimonies and the gospel, beginning home Bible studies with those who accept Christ.  Our medical team will provide basic care and health education as well as open more opportunities to introduce people to Christ. 

If you are willing, I would love for you to be apart of my journey. I'm taking a leap of faith and praying that God will provide, and not just for me! Thank you!
