Medical Missions
Medical missions is an important part of our ministry here in Oaxaca, Mexico. We have several short term medical mission trips each year. These teams minister among the different unre
ached
people groups to help open doors for church planting. We have found that people
are much more open to talk about their spiritual needs if we help meet a physical
need.Most Mixteco villages have little or no public health care (besides the local witchdoctor). There is a hospital in Tlaxiaco where our missions base is located, but few people are willing to make the journey into the city while they are sick.
We are currently networking with organizations like Project BGAN and Compassion Oaxaca. Our hope is to have medical supplies, dental equipment, and medicine at our missionary training center at all times. This equipment would be available to missionaries in the area and to short term medical missions teams that would use the supplies to host clinics in the rural communities.
We are also in
the process of forming a medical mobile team that would be dedicated to traveling
to different villages providing education and public health care in different
unreached people groups. The goal would be to open doors for missionaries
desiring to plant churches and to help build the reputation of small churches
in different villages. The medical missions mobile team would have a revolving
door policy where medical students and others could come in for a few weeks
to months at a time to get their feet wet in medical missions and to see if
it is something that they would like to be involved with in the future. We
currently need missionary nurses, doctors, translators, etc.If the Mexico medical missions ministry grows enough, we have space available at our missions base to do consultations and dispense medicine.
Current Medical Missions Needs:
1) We are looking for new and used medical and dental equipment and supplies.
2) We are looking for someone with medical experience to help facilitate our short-term medical mission trips.
3) We need nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals to coordinate and help form a mobile team.
4) We need medical-oriented advocates in the United States that could help promote our short and long-term medical missions opportunities.
