MPC Highlights
Bringing Joy to Many:
Harding University and Burleson Church of Christ
Together in Nicaragua
Harding University School of Pharmacy and Burleson Church of Christ teamed up to bring a great week to the mission and to the church in Jinotega. This was the third group to join us from Harding this year. Over four days, this amazing group visited schools, worked in construction, and loved on children.

Many were provided with medical care, while wellness physicals for the Kingdom Kids in Jinotega were also provided.
Burleson Church had a particularly special week, visiting all of their sponsored children that are in four different locations, providing each child with a bag of food basics to take home to their families.
Thanks to all three Harding University medical mission groups that joined us this year and the medical mission group from Lipscomb University, the children in the Kingdom Kids program in Nicaragua have all had their physicals for 2025!
Medical Check-ups, Education, and Fun with Students
We had an amazing week with a group of 19 students, from Freed Hardeman! Led by Dr. Brian Vaughn from the Physical Therapy Assistant Program and Dr. Laura Cupp from the Education Department, this energetic and hardworking group made a positive impact at the School of the Good Samaritan/Kingdom Kids in Catacamas, Honduras.
Each student received their annual wellness check, which included vision screenings.
Additionally, the teachers participated in a one-day seminar, and on the other days the group rotated through classrooms, providing support and encouragement to both teachers and students.
As the group departed on Friday, they were able to participate in the school's annual King Limpiar celebration, a day dedicated to honoring Honduran heritage.
Dr. Sara, Enoch, Gracie, Wilson, Duncan, Edenia, Bob, Donna, Benny and Claudia came from Jinotega to help with the week.
Smiles 2025: A Time to Prepare
