DOMINICAN REPUBLIC (KVRR) – While members of the Atonement Lutheran Church in Fargo have long been involved with organizations like Feed My Starving Children that send aid to the Dominican Republic, this is the first time they’ve gone to the country with the goal of giving medical aid.
They say it’s been quite the eye-opening experience so far.
“We’re in a church. They basically cleared out the seating, and we have tables set up around the periphery of the church that are the interview room, the exam room, the whole works right there,” Dr. Glenn Mastel said.
Three physicians, a nurse practitioner, and support staff arrived in the country on Monday and will have some members remaining in the country for most of the rest of the month.
“Obviously, everyone in the world needs medical care. We believe everyone needs Jesus, and that’s the main driver behind this,” Atonement mission trip member and former KFGO News Reporter Ryan Janke said.
Atonement has already begun planning their next medical mission for 2027.
