Welcome to Parsons Ministries. This is a website designed to tell you about several missionary opportunities, and to encourage you to be involved with us either by participation or with prayer. The power of such support is awesome. Our annual schedule is below.
When I am in the mission field, I will journal daily onto this website to allow you to know the challenges and accomplishments of our team. To read the daily reports select "Daily Journaling" on the left side of this screen, then select the country we are visiting.
If you would like to join us, look below or on the left screen, "Mission Opportunities," to read more about our various experiences in Vietnam, Cuba, Mexico, Israel and a new opportunity in the Dominican Republic.
Let me know if any of these trips interest you. Feel free to recruit! Our door is open!
In His Grace, David
(P.S. Many of you have requested my testimony as an audio. I can either email or mail the CD to you. Contact me at parsonsdav@aol.com Others have requested the DVD which I can mail you (same testimony but you can watch the airplanes move(!). However, this video clip is also on http://www.execmin.org/LeadershipResources/winning/fullMessage.html. )
Below is the schedule for our medical mission trips in 2008 and beyond. If you are even considering going on any of the trips, please let me know of your possible interest by emailing me at parsonsdav@aol.com. Include your name and the trip(s) you are considering. This helps me as there are over 1000 of you who have told me you want to join us in the future. I need to be able to focus on just those interested for 2008. We are interested in doctors, dentists, therapists, audiologists, nurses, spouses, children, etc!
Havana, Cuba - 15-22 November. This is a multi-specialty medical mission. For many reasons, this one looks good for getting our visas. Learn more at "Mission Opportunities" or go to www.reicuba.org.
Vietnam - 3-18 October 08 (multi-specialty medical mission & you can go for one week if desired). This is a great trip for spouses or even families. See below for other VN opportunities, and all these are repeated every year.
Mexico - 18 July – 2 Aug 08 (team is full), and the week involving Christmas Day (19-27 Dec 08). This is a multi-specialty medical mission & you can go for one week, if desired. 50% of the team are medical/dental professionals and 50% are helpful people who make the camp work correctly. My wife is non-medical and has been going for 20 years, and loves it! This is a wonderful family trip and the team goes every year at these two times.
Israel - Unknown date but it will not be until 2009. If you are interested let us know. We couldn’t get ANYONE to go in 2007 because of feelings of unsafety (I promise you the trip is VERY safe and we go to secure places!). Those of you potentially interested should contact me, and we can get together and work out a good date. This will be a multi-specialty medical mission. This trip will focus on working with our specialty specific colleagues at the medical school in Beer Sheva for 5 days then 6-7 days of touring the Holy Lands with unbelievable guides!
Other teams going to Vietnam:
OB-Gyn team in January, every year. Good group of people from all over who have become very close friends, and they welcome to join this circle of friendship! Team leader is Dr. Mickey Smith, Lsmith6558@aol.com.
Last week or two in February, 2008 and nearly the same every year. ENT team but would be thrilled to have other specialties. Team leader is Dr. Brent Senior at UNC, brent_senior@med.unc.edu.
There is another team or two (Family Practice, Hematology, etc.) . Learn more at www.reivn.org.
I look forward to hearing from you. In His Service, David
