Benin is located in West Africa. We will fly into Cotonou and travel north. The medical team will serve in 4 rural villages that are very interested in being involved in a 3-5 year coaching process to transform themselves and break the cycle of poverty. Together with our partner, Global Hope Network International, we will host a free medical outreach and provide health education. At the same time we will display the love of Jesus.   For this trip we desire physicians, optometrists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, medical assistants, medical students, first responders and non-medical volunteers with a heart to serve.

MPFC has a Covid plan to do our best to keep trip participants and our patients and partners safe and healthy. We will be watching country requirements closely. If we have to cancel this mission your application and funds will be moved to a future mission of your choice. 

All team members must be Covid-19 vaccinated to attend this mission trip.
