UT Southwestern medical team brings healing to JuarezEvery year since the late 1970s, the BSM of UT Southwestern Medical School has traveled to Mexico during spring break to share the gospel and provide medical care. This year, 39 students, seven physicians and a few non-medical personnel went to Juarez, Mexico. Since many missions organizations have shied away from Juarez due to reports of gang violence, the medical team saw an unusually large number of patients needing overdue treatment. The group ministered to 1,094 patents and distributed more than 24,000 children’s vitamins and many other prescription drugs. The team also was able to distribute hundreds of Bibles and gospel tracts, as well as pray and bring spiritually healing words to comfort those in need. Photos courtesy of David I. Griffin |
