We serve a God that heals, has healed, and is healing. Much of what we do in our community can be read about in Scripture. We see in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Matthew 5:14-16 how we should live, minister, respond and love our neighbors. Physical needs must be "bound" before hearts and ears can receive anything of eternal worth. There is an abundance Jesus refers to, a prosperity and happiness that comes in the holistic care He provides. We are light, and darkness must and will flee, not because we demand Justice, but because He is Justice, and He is a good Father. All this to say...it is time to build a city on a hill. A physical building and a space that will provide freedom and care for those with the greatest needs.

Our initial focus clinically will be children 5 and under, children with special needs, burn/wound care, nutrition, Preventative/Community Health, and Palliative/End of Life Care. We will have classroom space for our YWAM colleagues to use for literacy, language learning, parenting classes, and religious studies. Also, to provide space for specialty consults like psychology, prayer, spiritual guidance and grief/bereavement services for patients, government medical staff and family as well as member care for other missionaries, expatriates in the area along with other therapies such as music and art. We will also offer continuing education and specialty training for health care staff and local health activists. We will create a community garden for demonstration, nutrition education, and nutritional supplements for our malnourished children.

Exciting, and yes, it requires prayer, faith, finances, time, and teamwork.

We are looking for prayer and financial partners to complete this project which will also be an ongoing ministry to equip and empower our local colleagues and community members. Please prayerfully consider partnering with us and/or sharing with someone or a group you know would be interested in this work.

"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

-Matthew 5:5
