Medical Mission Trip to Rural India

Our recent medical mission trip to rural India was both challenging and rewarding. Over the course of two weeks, our team of doctors, nurses, and support staff traveled to five remote villages in the northern region of India.

Medical Services Provided

We were able to treat over 500 patients, many of whom had never seen a doctor before. Common issues included:

  • Respiratory infections
  • Skin conditions
  • Malnutrition
  • Parasitic infections
  • Basic dental care

Spiritual Impact

While providing medical care, we also had opportunities to share the Gospel with patients and their families. We distributed Bibles in the local language and saw 15 people make decisions to follow Christ.

Training Local Health Workers

A key component of our mission was training local health workers to continue providing basic care after our departure. We conducted workshops on preventive healthcare, first aid, and maternal care.

Challenges Faced

The trip was not without its challenges. We experienced transportation difficulties due to poor road conditions, language barriers despite our translators, and limited medical supplies. However, God's provision was evident throughout the journey.

Future Plans

Based on the success of this trip, we're planning to return next year with a larger team and more specialized medical equipment. We're also exploring the possibility of establishing a permanent clinic in one of the villages.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support that made this mission possible. The impact will continue long after our return home.
