Since 1979, we have sent more than 2,100 volunteer teams and shipped more than $1.4 billion in lifesaving medicines and medical supplies to care for 25 million people in 100 countries. Each year, more than 2,000 volunteers contribute their time to care for those whom Jesus called “the least of these” in our world today.</p> http://www.medicalteams.org/sf/about_us/media_center/articles/11-10-27/Supporters_Help_Medical_Teams_International_Raise_More_Than_1_4_Million.aspx http://www.medicalteams.org/sf/rss.aspx?c=News http://www.christianpost.com/news/dont-be-afraid-45082/ Tue, 10 May 2011 09:24:40 -0400 http://www.christianpost.com/news/dont-be-afraid-45082/ http://www.christianpost.com/services/rss/feed/most-commented
