Hebron USA exists to provide volunteer, technical and financial support for Christian missionaries, cross-cultural mission opportunities, medical and service ministries, leadership development and church development through partnerships with other mission organizations, nonprofit organizations and national church organizations. Las Manos de Cristo is a project of Hebron USA in partnership with the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico and its affiliate The Council for the Holistic Development of Our Communities, A.C.. 

One of our biggest fund-raising priorities is Las Manos de Cristo Medical Clinic in Ocosingo, Chiapas, Mexico. Las Manos de Cristo (The Hands of Christ) will provide outpatient medical care for the marginalized and often forgotten indigenous people of Chiapas.

The country of Mexico has over 300 indigenous people groups with 30 of those groups represented in the state of Chiapas and 8 in the county of Ocosingo.  Most indigenous people speak their native language but do not speak Spanish, the language of their conquerors.  Most are farmers living in outlying jungle villages, often miles from the nearest medical facilities. Over 1 million people in the state of Chiapas do not have access to basic health care. When they are able to access government sponsored health services, language differences and prejudice often prevent them from receiving appropriate and adequate care. The indigenous people of Chiapas are among the most marginalized in all of Mexico and have the highest disease and mortality rates from preventable causes (World Health Organization).

Please join us in sharing the love of Christ through the delivery of quality, non-discriminatory medical care for the people of Chiapas through your donations to support the construction and operation of Las Manos de Cristo

Hebron USA was started in 2004 by a group of concerned Presbyterians in NC from various backgrounds.  We are men, women and young people with a great love to share the saving grace of God with all nations.
