Global Volunteer Opportunities
Healthcare – South Asia
Sept 25 – Oct 2, 2024 and Nov 9 – 23, 2024
Medical and Spiritual Healing – We are looking for driven medical professionals who feel a call to both treat the sick and evangelize the lost. This 5-7 day trip will allow you to treat some of the disadvantaged in South Asia while bringing them the light of the Gospel. The local medical community is calling for Western medical practitioners to come and teach CME’s. After teaching local physicians and nurses, a one-day medical camp will be joined to a week of evangelism, discipleship, and Biblical teaching. There will also be a one-day cultural orientation to learn about Indian culture, Hinduism, Islam, and tribal religions up close. For further information click here for September dates and click here for the November dates.

Serve Tour – Peru

The insight these experts have provided creates a unique opportunity for volunteers to have the most transformative impact possible through various community building projects. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to serve these cities in Jesus’ name, so Send Relief staff will provide team trainings, prayer guides, debriefings and rallies to help encourage volunteers in their next step on mission. The Send Relief Serve Tour to Peru in 2025 will have a healthcare component. They are looking for about 10 healthcare workers to join other volunteers. Registration is now open, but these slots will probably go fast. For further information, click here.
