Ministries

Nicaragua:
Dr. Ginther has a love for the people of Latin America and uses his skill and experience in Nicaragua through the Nicaragua Resource Network. This organization, founded in 1996, serves as a channel for resources to aid impoverished children and families in Nicaragua (www.NicaResourceNet.org). In 1999, Dr. Ginther began working with the chief of the orthopaedic residency program in the capital of Nicaragua to teach joint replacement and improve the technology available to these people. He has made numerous trips to this country and has an ongoing relationship with surgeons there to continue to raise the standard of orthopaedic care. Through the Nicaragua Resource Network, pharmaceutical companies have donated surgical equipment and implants that enable the Nicaraguan physicians to continue the level of care. Dr. Ginther’s family accompanies him to Nicaragua on these trips and is involved with local churches building schools, church buildings and furthering friendships in the name of Jesus Christ.

Military:
Having spent 29 years in uniform, Dr. Ginther has a love for the men and women who serve to protect our country. Dr. Ginther is actively involved in the Officers Christian Fellowship. This is a non-denominational ministry which encourages and prepares officers and their families for Christian life and fellowship in the armed forces. This ministry was a tremendous support to Dr. Ginther and his family throughout his years of active duty and he continues to participate so that those currently serving in the armed forces may also be blessed. Dr. Ginther and his wife serve on the Advisory Council of Spring Canyon, a family camp for military personnel located in Buena Vista, Colorado. He is also active in planning a medical conference for military personnel at this facility annually.("Military" Officers Christian Fellowship Web Site)
