What is a Health Care team?
People all over the world have needs so great that we have a hard time even comprehending them. Imagine getting sick but having no access to a doctor. Imagine breaking your leg and having no ability to see anyone for the pain. Imagine being forced to let it heal wrong because nobody was there to properly care for you. Now imagine that all this happened to you in a little village that didn't even have a church...because there were no Christians either. That's the real world that so many people live in.
Our Health Care teams travel across the world to set up free clinics. People come to the clinics because of physical needs, and they leave with those needs met, in addition to a clear understanding of the Gospel.
Yes, these teams do need doctors, but not just doctors. Most teams need medical doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, RNs, LPNs, dentists, dental assistants, optometrists, chiropractors, and non-medical support staff. We also need people to hand out medication and to talk to the people waiting in line. In other words, you don't have to be a medical professional to have a place on a Health Care team.
Would you consider joining us in one of these countries? God has given you specific skills and wants to use them for His glory.
The Program
Our purpose is to use Free Health Care Clinics to meet the physical and spiritual needs of people around the world. At each location we will hold clinics providing healthcare and needed medicines. The clinics follow an evangelistic meeting presenting the Gospel via testimonies, music and ministering through the Word of God.
Professionals and Pharmaceuticals Needed
We need Medical Doctors, PA's, Nurse Practicioners, RNs, LPNs, Dentists, Dental Assistants, Optometrists, Chiropractors and non-medical support staff. We also need donations of prescription and non-prescription medications, salves, ointment, bandages, and other medical supplies. Children's and adult vitamins, aspirin and ibuprofen are needed in large quantities. Call us for a list of suggested medications for each country. Ministry minded, non-medical people are also needed to assist with patient rapport, music, adult and children ministry and personal evangelism.
Highlights and Sightseeing
Highlights include sharing your expertise with national medical professionals, treating the physical ailments of people, evangelism and opportunities for life changing experiences for not only the trip participants but the patients we care for and minister to. Each trip will include time for shopping and sightseeing. You'll visit beautiful parks and ancient cathedrals, shop open markets, and travel through streets surrounded by architecture unique to each country. These short term mission trips are life-changing experiences that will enhance your spritual growth by exposing you to under developed areas of the world and help you realize how blessed we truly are.
