Medical Team members Needed

Do you have Medical, Dental or Optometry training?

Are you a qualified physiotherapist, occupational therapist, midwife, pharmacist, or have other medical training?

Have you thought about using your skills on a short term mission team?

In April 2008, we are sending an Optometry team to Guatemala. Missionary Ventures has established a general medical clinic to serve the people of rural Nebaj, who have limited access to health care. This will be the first ever Optometry team to visit and provide eye care. We are looking for optometrists to provide eye examinations and prescribe donated spectacles and medication.

From June 17th-28th 2008, we are sending a general medical team to work in the Gwembe Valley in Zambia. This follows a successful mini medical team who have just returned from a combined mission. There is a need for qualified medical staff to work alongside the two nurses based at Longezia mission base in Sinazongwe, an area that is home to a great number of rural poor. Team members will be holding clinics on the base and in the surrounding villages, providing the local Tonga people with consultation, treatment and health/nutrition advice.

In Spring 2009, there will be an optometry team going out to the Sinazongwe region of Zambia. This will be the first optometry team to visit this area and it will be wonderful to see a team of practitioners meeting the needs of the Tonga people by providing eye examinations and prescribing donated spectacles and medication.

Our short term mission teams are sent out to meet the needs of indigenous communities around the world. Our teams make a huge difference to the lives of the people we touch, and in using our skills to help people, we are able to reveal God’s love in the most practical and caring way. Could you be part of the work that God is doing in underprivileged countries around the world? Could you be a member of one of these teams? Please pray about it and if you feel this is the direction for you, contact Joy
