This is our fourth visit to Indonesiasince, but the first to the area around Demak in Central Java. We have been invited by the Atascadero Bible Church to share in their ministry through Pastor Daniel in the town of Denak. who has been working closely with the evangelical Christian organization OC International. 

Together we will be ministering though the following activites:

1. Medical Clinics in the villages surrounding Demak.
2. Follow up medical care to the people affected bu the Merapi Volcano eruption.
3. Basic training for Church Leaders in providing community health services.
4. Outreach to the law enforcement community.
5. Outreach to prisons.
6. Outreach to Fire Fighters.
7. English as a second language.

You can be a part of this work. Join us this year.

For those working in the medical clinics, here is what you will be doing.

  • Using local translators who speak the local dialect, part of the team will register patients and record simple patient histories on patient routing slips for later diagnosis by a team medical staff member. 
  • Other members of the team may work with local translators in triage where blood pressure, pulse, glucose test results and other vital signs will be recorded along with further patient history.
  • Some will be in the exam rooms with local translators where the MDs will make their diagnosis and record the recommended medical prophylaxis for the patient.
  • At least one person will be testing vision for reading glasses
  • Several people will work in the pharmacy where the prescribed medicines will be prepared and packaged along with instructions to the patients for when and how to take their prescriptions.
  • Giving people the gift of free medical care is secondary to introducing them to Christ. Everyone will have the opportunity to witness the love of Jesus Christ and share their testimony.

     Care Providers Needed: MDs, PAs, NPs, RNs, Pharmacists, and other health care related personnel. In addition medical students and non-medical personnel with a heart for the people of  Haiti are needed as support members of the team.
