Honduras Vet Mission Trip 2019

***Tax deductible donations can be given by the two options listed at the bottom of the description***

Throughout my time in vet school, I gained a passion for missions and look forward to continuing to serve on trips with Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM) as a veterinarian. As a student, I have served on short-term mission trips to Nicaragua. Last year I was unable to return to Nicaragua due to the political unrest the country was and still is facing. When the trip was cancelled, we were told we could serve on a trip to Honduras instead. At the time, I wasn’t able to go to Honduras. There have been other instances throughout this past year that have made me feel led to serve with Christian Veterinary Mission in Honduras.

From August 3 - 10, 2019, I will be serving in Honduras. We will be partnering with Honduras Outreach International, a Christ-centered missions organization that works alongside people of developing countries.  They work to create life-changing relationships between people of developing countries and North Americans. This is done through promoting community directed and integrated spiritual, physical, educations, and economic development. All mission projects are based on local community leaders’ requests and invitations. This ensures that the projects will be sustainable and that they are truly helping the community. The sharing of my faith will be a regular part of each day I look forward to learning how to incorporate my faith into my career in a way that is sustainable once I return home.


As I prepare to serve in Honduras, I greatly desire your prayer support for a successful outreach. Please consider being a prayer partner with me on this adventure. My efforts cannot succeed without prayer!

The total cost of the trip is $2,200, which includes airfare/associated travel expenses, transportation, lodging, meals, and some veterinary supplies. I am hoping to raise the money by July 20, 2019.
