Travel With Us

Experience the joy that only mission travel can offer: first-hand contribution to the advancement of health and well-being of disadvantaged people around the world. We offer the opportunity to work side-by-side with other caring medical professionals to care for some whose only medical attention that year will be your team's day clinic.

Next Trip: October 2010

Learn more about our upcoming trip to Nicaragua in October!

A child's smile; the look of relief in a parent's eyes; the hug at the end of a medical treatment; these are the things that can connect you to a family, a church, and God's Larger World in a big way.

Austin Samaritans partners with several Texas churches to travel into areas of need. Visit these pages or subscribe to the Mission Trips subscription feed to keep up-to-date on new mission trip opportunities.

In August of 2010, Austin Samaritans visited Colegio Cristiano Presbiteriano school classrooms in the Barrio Hialeah de Managua, and toured the school's expansion site.

We also met with representatives from Fundación Ortiz Gurdian who maintain the cancer registry (CANREG 5) for Nicaragua. Many of the chemotherapy medicines and supplies on hand were given to the cancer center by Austin Samaritans' generous donations.
