Ecuador Jun 6 - 14, 2026, Family/Student Friendly, w/Valerie Preston & Lori Price SR1717
We still need Physicians, Dentists, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners for this trip. No longer accepting Non-Medical applicants.
Family-Friendly Trip – We welcome physicians, dentists, pharmacists, dermatologists, optometrists, ophthalmologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, first responders, dental hygienists, dental assistants, physical/occupational therapists, students, and servants (non-medical helpers).
Our local hosts are Marilyn Guido and Tammy Ramirez. Tammy is Marilyn’s administrative assistant and coordinates most of the logistics with our GHO teams. She is a gifted leader in the Arco Cuenca church. Marilyn and her husband have been missionaries in Ecuador and Peru, since 1988. They have recently gone back to pastoring one of the Arco churches in Cuenca, while John continues to supervise and mentor in 11 other Arco churches in Ecuador as well as churches in Cuba and Brazil. More information about the Arco group of churches can be found at www.arcoministries.org They have a non-profit foundation and full-time clinic in Cuenca, that provides the legal umbrella for our team to enter and work in-country. We’ll get a peek at that during the week! More info at https://www.familyhealthfnd.org/. They have been hosting GHO teams since 1999.
We welcome your heart to serve the people of Ecuador and are looking forward to an amazing time!
