Thailand - Medical & Dental Mission (TH1026)

Join a Life-Changing Medical & Dental Mission to Thailand!
Are you ready to make a real difference? Join CERT International on a medical and dental mission to Thailand, where physical and spiritual healing go hand in hand. 1 and 2-week trip options are available!

You don’t have to be a medical or dental professional to make a difference! We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and ages (children 12+ included). Whether you’re assisting in clinics, offering compassion, or sharing the love of Christ, your presence matters.

What You’ll Experience: 1 or 2 Weeks!

• Partner with Hope Church Bangkok, whose passionate evangelists will minister in the local language and cultural context.
• Provide essential medical and dental care to underserved communities.
• Help open hearts to the gospel by meeting tangible needs.
• Stay comfortably in a local Bangkok hotel (double occupancy).
• Serve in and around Bangkok during the first week of clinics.
• Choose to stay for a second week and travel to another region of Thailand to continue serving.

Team members will fly into Bangkok and travel around Thailand hosting free medical and dental clinics. Care will be offered from morning to late afternoon with lots of sightseeing opportunities after! Through compassionate service, we create an open door for the love of Christ to reach those in need. Say yes to being the hands and feet of Jesus.
