We use medical clinics to not only bring physical healing but to introduce them to the Great Physician.
Throughout the Bible, we see Jesus heal people. By reaching a communities’ physical needs, we are given an opportunity to share the Gospel and provide a hope that can only come from the Lord. We plant a church each day our mobile medical clinic serves in a new location. This has proven to be an effective ministry tool to carry the Gospel in hard to reach areas.
What Does a Medical Clinic Look Like?
Together with local professionals, we set up a full clinic with triage, exams and a pharmacy. Serving alongside a local pastor and volunteers, we ensure that every patient leaves feeling loved, prayed for and knowing the Good News of Christ’s life, death and resurrection! On average, we see about 500 patients a day. We know this would not be possible without God.
For every day of medical clinic, we also plant a church. Because of this, it means that we never do a medical clinic in the same location. Our teams drive anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour each day to rural villages where medical care is hard to come by.
The process begins with triage. Our triage team, which is comprised of non-medical volunteers, are the first to see the patients. They assess the patients and write down the top symptoms to make the process quicker for the doctors. The patients then see the doctors. After visiting the doctors, they hear from the pastors as their prescriptions are filled. When the pastors have finished, the patients pick up their free prescriptions and they are on their way! On average, our teams see around 500 patients a day.
