In January 2014, NBC's Rebecca Spencer traveled with a group from Partners for Belize, a medical missions partnership group based in Cincinnati, OH, to Corazol, Belize. During this 8 day trip, the group saw over 800 patients at village clinics and performed 60 surgeries. Rebecca's support role included: patient triage, holding babies, playing with children, and personally passing out 24 Spanish Bibles. Rebecca is a freshman majoring in Athletic Training and hopes to pursue a career in Physical Therapy. "This trip changed my life!"
Thank you to the members of NBC for the prayer and financial support. |
