Nicaragua is the Central American country with the greatest challenges in terms of spiritual, economic and health concerns. From 1936 to 1979, Nicaragua lived under the dictator known as Somoza. In 1979 there arose the Sandinista Revolution, which overthrew Somoza's dictatorship. Unfortunately, this evolved into yet another dictatorship, and brought about the civil war that so deteriorated and destroyed the land and people of Nicaragua for the next ten years. Democracy did not arrive in Nicaragua until 1990, when the first free elections were held. Nicaragua has enjoyed peace and democracy for the past 16 years, but still suffers the effects of years of war in that they are desperately poor and in need of medical assistance.
The objective for these medical missions in Central America are:
To give the glory to God, and not to man.
To carry out the Great Commission
To empower the local pastors
To promote unity in the body of Christ
To allow the American medical professionals the chance to make a difference through medical missions.
With the above objectives in mind, we strive to empower the local pastors to be the leaders that the community can look up to by asking that they be responsible for all of the logistics for the medical clinics. GHO guarantees the local community that they will receive the best possible medical and dental care from our GHO team members, and that the local pastors will give them the best spiritual care. We are honored to be part of such a great team of pastors and doctors working together to carry out the Great Commission, and trusting that the local pastors will give the patients the best spiritual followup after the GHO team has returned home.
