Cuba, Oct 24 - Nov 1, 2026, GHO/MEI trip w/Trish Burgess, MD SR1756
This privileged GHO team will be serving in Cuba in a joint effort with MEI who has been serving in Cuba for 30 years. This country is currently the sole communist country outside of Asia. We are sent as beacons of light and vessels of grace in the name and love of Jesus Christ to help the people of Cuba who are currently struggling due to nation-wide shortages of fuel, electricity, food, and medicine.
We have a partnership with a national mission organization that has been faithful in extensive kingdom work for over 30 years. Together, we are planning to extend healthcare outreach to the least, the lost, and the last. We will care for the poor and needy in impoverished areas.
There is destitute poverty and tremendous, overwhelming physical needs. We will offer free medical, dental, and eyeglass care and pray to have ancillary services and therapies, including Physical Therapy. This team will be challenged in the labors of the Great Commission and blessed abundantly in the fruit of those labors. We will share Christ's gospel of redemption and will be in prayer with and for those we serve trusting in God's harvest to His glory!
Pray and seek whether God is calling you to join in His mission to serve these lost souls who need the saving grace of our Lord Jesus. His Body of Christ is called to be His hands and feet to broken, impoverished, and dying people. The call is clear. We need and welcome all physicians, dentists, pharmacists, physical and occupational therapists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dental hygienists, nurses, optometrists, EMTs, paramedics, first responders, and non-medical servants.
Thank you for your heart to serve in the name of Jesus.
