Since 2001, David and Laura have been serving remote rural communities in Nicaragua through the training and support of village health leaders. These health care providers staff clinics in their communities to diagnose and treat the most common illnesses, teach nutrition and hygiene, and coordinate diverse community-oriented projects to improve health and prevent disease; they have significantly reduced deaths among children and women in their communities.  David and Laura have also been receiving short-term mission teams that work in construction projects alongside village members.

 

David is an internist and Laura is a family physician.  Their ministry to serve the poor focuses on health, hope and healing. Based in Nicaragua, they serve through AMOS Health and Hope and the Council of Protestant Churches in Nicaragua (CEPAD), working in Latin America to improve the health of rural communities.  They also work with hospital and clinical services, hospice care, and programs focused on prevention and treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS.
