Medical Ministry
Think about what it’s like to be sick.
Now imagine that you have to suffer in silence. You are too poor to buy any medicine or even visit a doctor for help. Even if you had the ability to pay, it would be of no use because the nearest medical facility would require you to walk a whole day just to get there.
This is the dilemma many South Asians find themselves in every time they become ill. That’s why Gospel for Asia’s Medical Ministry is so vital. These teams of trained nurses and doctors visit dozens of villages, and Bridge of Hope Centers, ministering to thousands of people each year, all in the name of the Great Physician—Jesus Christ. The treatment is free to the recipients, but the eternal difference it makes in their lives cannot be measured monetarily. To the mother who cradles a sick infant in her arms, to the father who suffered broken bones in a natural disaster, to the elderly person who needs blood pressure medication, to the outcast leprosy patient, all receive the necessary medical treatment and hear that Jesus loves them.
