Why We Hold Mobile Medical Clinics

Why We Hold Mobile Medical Clinics:

#1 Because many people FEAR the hospital, because of bad past experiences and tribal traditions.

#2 Because so many folks are TOO SICK to make it to a formal clinic or District Hospital .

#3 Because I don’t know of ANY way to more clearly reinforce for our teams the ‘face’ of disease and illness.

#4 Because the very DISTANCE of travel to many hospitals makes it almost impossible for the sick.

#5 Because the COSTS for treatment are very often what keep village folks from seeking treatment.

#6 Because a little effort and a few resources go a very long way.

#7 Because Jesus Christ cared about people’s heart and BODY and soul.

#8 Because we are following the Lord’s example and His command. (Matt 22:39)

#9 Because it’s the RIGHT thing to do. (Titus 3:1b) ‘Always be ready to do whatever is good.’

#10 Because Sister Freda does them, and frankly, ANYTHING she does…I want to be a part of.
