The provision of transportation for convention leaders, inland mission teams, and vehicle preparation, and placement with church leaders, are also components of their ministry. L.V.N. Gloria Chavira is also part of the Big Bend Frontera leadership team, serving as Healthcare Coordinator. Gloria assigns inland church healthcare teams to assist Big Bend Borderland Churches to provide community ministry through Medical, Dental, and Optical clinics. The preparation of medicines, glasses, and dental equipment, are also a part of her responsibilities. If medical referrals are necessary, Gloria makes arrangements with the appropriate medical personnel.
Needs always outstretch the resources.
Rough roads and remote destinations take a toll on equipment, requiring constant upkeep and repair, and frequent replacement. A Field Office complex in Van Horn, Texas, is home to a mechanical repair shop and dormitory where inland church mechanic teams are invited to help with vehicle repair. Inland church mission teams of 8-15 people with skills capable of meeting the Borderland churches' requests can be used in many different projects.
