The premier medical mission trip for One Love Nursing Ministries was to Nicaragua in March 2011.  During our ten-day visit to this beautiful country we hosted 5 clinics in rural areas surrounding Jinotega and Managua.  Through God's blessing, we were able to see to the physical and spiritual needs of 497 people!
