Medical Outreach


Medical OutreachThe process of planting a church involves a 3-day, free medical outreach in the village.  Josue has a group of doctors, nurses and veterinarians who volunteer their time to help. 

Most villagers have little access to medical help: 

  • There are only two main hospitals for the whole country! 
  • Medical help is very expensive.
  • The villagers' understanding of health issues is so minimal, they do not know what is really life-threatening or debilitating. 
  • Fifty percent of the children die before age 5, from curable diseases!
  • Villagers have no transportation to get to medical help or money to pay for services up front!

Doctor Gilbert (in green) dreams of creating a traveling medical trailer, so he could take medical help to the people!  Funding and supplies are desperately needed! Jessica (in blue), has enjoyed serving alongside medical professionals of Benin with her ICU nursing experience on four separate church plants!

If you would like to be on a mission team and offer your medical expertise, you would be very welcomed! If you would be able to provide items that will not expire such as glasses, knee braces, etc. for a team to take over, that would be very much appreciated. If you can help Dr. Gilbert create the mobile medical clinic, please share your expertise!  How can YOU Help?
