Do you have a heart for those who are suffering physically? If you are prepared to give compassionate medical help to hurting people you also have an open doorway for caring for the deeper spiritual needs of your patents. There is little medical knowledge and few trained medical workers in the jungle, but physical needs and illnesses abound. Activities will involve consultations, administering first aid, dispensing antibiotics, treating whatever other medical needs are within the scope of the team’s resources, and providing teaching in dealing with basic medical problems and common health issues. The medical aid could consist of something as simple as taking blood pressure or as extreme as setting broken bones. The medical mission team will work side-by-side with a children’s ministry team. Having children’s ministry taking place at the same time not only occupies waiting patients, but makes sure that those who visit the clinic also hear the Gospel.
