Thursday November 26, 2998 Riverside, CA Our health mission team will work with Cosecha during their Thanksgiving meal for the poor. Come and serve between 8:30 AM-12:30 PM then head home for Thanksgiving Dinner! The health mission team will work with Cosecha to host a Health Fair – on the grounds of the Cosecha church! This was a great outreach last year. We provide health screening (diabetes, obesity and hypertension) and a health fair for children. The Cosecha evangelical team will give people the opportunity to make a profession of faith. We will have a team engage in healing prayer. We need nurses, dieticians, physicians, dentists, chiropractors, health-related students, translators and non-medical people who have a heart to serve. There is no cost to participate and it can’t be any easier to go to the event If you are interested, please register on-line here or contact Glendy Chen by e-mailing her at glcrncde@gmail.com or by calling 951-782-6201.

Saturday December 12, 2009 Tijuana Mexico- Our health mission team will work with Mexican Medical Ministry to host a Medical Brigada and a Children’s Health Fair/Bible School in a location selected by the evangelical churches in Tijuana. This is a great one day trip, where we and other Southern California Christian healthcare professionals provide free medical and dental care to people in need. We need nurses, physicians, dentists, chiropractors, translators and non-medical people who have a heart to serve. This is great evangelical event – where as many as 30 percent of the people who come to the brigade make professions of faith. The local churches disciple the new believers for 2 years. If you want to participate, you will need a completed application, a Harvest release form, and a check for $50 made out to Mexican Medical Ministries, $10 for Harvest Christian Fellowship and some money for dinner. Anybody who wants to participate needs to have all of these items submitted by November 20, 2009. Please contact Glendy Chen glcrncde@gmail.com or by calling 951-782-6201 for more details.
