Belize
Travel with Dr. Jennifer and Ryan Peterson and their team to a community near Belmopan, Belize as they work alongside our partner to help further their ministry to the local youth, many of whom come from broken homes.
The team will do veterinary work on horses used in the ministry, as well as help another missionary nearby with his congregation’s and community’s pets and farm animals with routine veterinary care, spays and neuters.
In addition to the veterinary work, the team will spend each day with the youth of the ministry leading a Vacation Bible School / Sports Camp. The sports camp will focus on teaching the youth rodeo, basketball, and softball skills. Veterinary professionals, veterinary students, and their families are welcome.
