La Cima World Missions was founded by Dr. David and Marty Sperow.  They are a husband and wife team that spent one and one half years working in a small rural medical and dental clinic in the village of Canchias, Honduras.  In that time, they were pushed well outside their comfort zones as God accomplished many amazing feats before their eyes and at their hands.

Many people were brought together at different times, during that year and a half, that can only be the result of the hand of God at work.  Governmental, medical and personal relationships were developed that  pointed to a God-sized task in the making.

David and Marty returned to the United States and, together with a Board of Directors of missions-oriented medical professionals, founded La Cima World Missions.

Our main goal is to follow God's call and watch as He works through His servants.

La Cima is Spanish for "the summit" or "the mountain top." 

One of the most common descriptors of a medical mission trip is that it was a "mountain top experience."  We wanted to capture that in our name. 

When you go where God is working, it takes you to a high point that can be experienced, but never fully described.  We encourage you to consider a mission trip, if that is where God is calling you, even if it is not through La Cima.  Rest assured, if you have never done it before, it will be a life-changing experience.

Our model is to function as part of The Body, not a stand-alone entity. We work in partnership with missionaries, NGOs, clinics, and hospitals that may not have the time, resources or expertise to search out those with skills and experience that would enhance accomplishment of their respective mission objectives. These international partners also often don't have sufficient human resources to properly address the challenge of the logistics of moving people, supply and equipment around the world. The demands of planning, coordinating and facilitating the transport and supply of individuals, and teams with a desire to serve, often proves to be a daunting obstacle to overcome.

We operate in a support role to maximize the efficiency of those β€œon the ground.” We prepare individuals and teams to work effectively and efficiently with our in-country partners. This model allows us to match need and ability in an effort to fulfill The Great Commission with maximum impact.
