Medical Outreach with an Eternal Purpose

The Vision My heart is heavy. The needs of the world are huge. Greed, poverty, injustice, civil unrest... Amoxicillin and Band-Aids and hugs can't fix this. Or can they? What if Jesus hands out the amoxicillin and band-aids and hugs? My heart is rejoicing. A very sick child I met today might have died of pneumonia. But she won't because God used my backpack to carry antibiotics to her village. He used my hands to clean her little brother's infected wounds and my arms to hug her worried grandmother. Her grandmother prayed and asked Jesus to be her Savior tonight. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 The needs of the world are huge but my God is bigger. I'm committed to sharing His love with a hurting world. My favorite way to do that is to bring basic medical care and education to the world's poorest people.  The Work I've had the opportunity to travel as a medical missionary the past few years and look forward to many more outreaches in the future. In 2006 I spent a total of 8 months in rural and impoverished areas of the Philippines where we provided medical care for people who have no access to doctors. When home in Boise, Idaho I'm a hospital pharmacist at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. Mercy in Action I received my mission medic training and valuable missions leadership experience through Mercy in Action. Mercy in Action is a non-profit Christian organization that provides compassionate medical services to pregnant mothers, families, children, widows and orphans living in poverty.
