Healthcare – South Asia

Sept 25 – Oct 2, 2024 and Nov 9 – 23, 2024

Medical and Spiritual Healing – We are looking for driven medical professionals who feel a call to both treat the sick and evangelize the lost. This 5-7 day trip will allow you to treat some of the disadvantaged in South Asia while bringing them the light of the Gospel. The local medical community is calling for Western medical practitioners to come and teach CME’s. After teaching local physicians and nurses, a one-day medical camp will be joined to a week of evangelism, discipleship, and Biblical teaching. There will also be a one-day cultural orientation to learn about Indian culture, Hinduism, Islam, and tribal religions up close.

U.S. Opportunities for Dentists/Dental teams

A dentist from Mississippi is looking for other dentists/dental teams to line up volunteers to serve alongside a North American Mission Board Church planter in South Dakota.  Step 1 is to set up a mobile dental trailer and take it to South Dakota.  He already has two dental chairs and could be seeking additional equipment. Step 2 is to seek dental teams and staff the trailer for different one-week periods during the year.  It may be several months for this project to “get off the ground”, but if this is a project that interests you, please contact Bob for further information.
