The Project

In 2008 we will be spending one week of medical ministry an  enchanting South Pacific destination.  We will be conducting our first medical team project to Bali, Indonesia.  We will minister to remote villages on the northern coast of Bali, working alongside our host Keng Wong from Singapore.  Keng developed a heart for the Balinese people while she lived in Bali, and now she is returning to bring blessings to this richly cultured people.   The primary objective of this project will be to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ by providing free healthcare treatment for those in need regardless of creed or ethnic origin.

Using local translators, part of the team will register patients and record simple patient histories on patient routing slips for later diagnosis by a team medical staff members. Open evangelism by U.S. team members will not be our focus, but those requesting prayer can be accommodated. Other members of the team will 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. A third group of the team will work in the exam rooms with local translators where the MDs will make their diagnosis and record the recommended medical prophylaxis for the patient. The final group will work in the pharmacy with local translators where the prescribed medicines will be prepared and packaged along with instructions to the patients for when and how to take their prescriptions.

Independent Donors Needed:  To contribute to help offset our cost of $4000 to supply medical supplies for this project. ($30,000 wholesale value).

Logistics

We will converge at a convenient U.S. departure city and fly as a team to Singapore. The team will travel on to Denpasar, Bali, returning to Singapore following our week of ministry. Double occupancy lodging will be arranged by our host in each location along with local transportation to the clinic sites. Meals will be provided along with safe drinking water.
