Brazil
If you have a desire to serve in Brazil, we might have the opportunity for you! We are looking for small- and large- animal Vets, Vet Techs, and Vet Students to travel with us to Foz do Iguacu, Brazil as we support a local partner in this region on the border of Argentina and Paraguay.
At this point, we need 3-4 DVMs to complete the roster. All other spots are full.
This team will be lead by Dr. Maribel Nelson, a native Brazilian who is passionate about seeing the love of Christ spread throughout this low-access area. The trip involves a combination of veterinary work and evangelism. Visit the homes of local families to build relationships, learn about some of their challenges and successes, and pray for the community. You will also be spending some time seeing the largest set of waterfalls in the world, Iguazu Falls!
Come prepared to serve the people of Brazil and be a part of this fantastic team. If you are interested in serving, please click "Express Interest" today!
