Clínica Medica Nazareno - San Benito 

Purpose: We desire to see God glorified in our efforts and that it brings His ministry of healing to earth.

We are developing a low-budget, efficient clinic that is effective in reaching the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of our patients.

While many mission health projects are a drain on the mission budget, this clinic has been self-supporting except for the doctor's salary and some donated medicines. Our goal from the beginning was that this project be reproducible and sustainable. If contacts were made to obtain lower cost medicines, then a modest doctor's salary (on a Guatemala scale) could also be paid from the clinic budget.
