Promoting Health In An Hiv Aids World
“Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of my poor people not been restored?” Jeremiah 8:22
Every year some 7 million children die simply because they are poor and suffer the consequences of poverty such as malnutrition and no access to healthcare or medicines. Moreover, the HIV/AIDS epidemic has claimed 25 million lives and orphaned 15 million children. An estimated 40 million people worldwide are now HIV positive.
A ministry of Christian healthcare is like a Balm in Gilead -- it “heals the sin sick soul, and makes the wounded whole.”
We believe God has called us to help bring preventative healthcare to the public and ongoing care to the ill and infirm.
We do not work alone. The trained healthcare workers and doctors serving as International Ministries short and long-term missionaries work at the invitation of local Christian partners. Together we seek to be the hands and feet of Christ through wide-ranging ministries of health and healing while training others in the skills of disease prevention, nutrition and care giving.
For example, David and Laura Parajón in Nicaragua, Anita and Rick Gutierrez in South Africa, Katherine Niles, Ann and Bill Clemmer in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Adalia Schellinger-Gutierrez in Mexico, Kim Brown in Thailand and many others help people who would die without the love of God, and the knowledge, medicine and tools you help provide. Our short and long-term missionaries work in Africa, Asia and Latin America to help run rural clinics, to teach HIV/AIDS prevention, to train healthcare workers, and to care for people at the end of life.
Let’s work together.
Support health workers who teach people to help themselves and others.
Send needed medicines and supplies to clinics and hospitals.
Care for the sick and heal the hurting throughout the world.
