Asian Pacific Rim Health Care Ministries

Demonstrate Christ's love and open doors for the gospel through health care.

People groups often have overwhelming needs related to health care and sometimes have little or no access to adequate medical treatment. Long-term personnel have the opportunity to implement various healthcare initiatives in unreached communities and share the gospel where it has never been heard. Your gift will fund the training of community health workers, and provide health education and medical and dental clinics. By tangibly demonstrating Christ’s love for people through health care, workers show God’s love, proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and plant churches among these unreached peoples.

Delivering Hope, Necessities to Migrant Workers

As the rest of the world starts to move on from the pandemic, COVID-19 still impacts the daily lives of migrant workers in northern Thailand. They come primarily from the hill tribes of neighboring countries to Thailand in search of better lives for themselves and their families. They are the backbone of the local construction industry. Their average wage is under $10 a day for almost ten hours of labor per day. These migrant workers are housed in one-room dormitories with communal showers. Some come to northern Thailand alone; others are accompanied by their families. Covid outbreaks are a regular occurrence here. When a migrant worker tests positive, the entire camp must be quarantined and locked down for at least two weeks. Simply put, no work means no pay. The lack of income alone causes significant hardship on these families who depend on a steady cash flow not only for daily life but also to send back to loved ones in other locations. But thanks to your generosity, we, along with our Thai friends, are able to serve them by delivering basic necessities such as rice, oil, eggs, vegetables, soap and medicine during these times of great need. This assistance helps build relationships in each camp, enabling Thai Christians to share about the One True God who loves them and can give them hope.

Some camps have believers, and a few have Bible studies, but others have no Christian presence. Nevertheless, these relief projects help provide gospel access among hill tribe peoples from an unreached country working in the urban cities of northern Thailand. Your partnership in this work is reaching not only these men and families but their extended families back in their home country. Thank you for giving to Asian Pacific Health Care Ministries to change lives for Christ through medical mission strategies. Please prayerfully consider making a gift to support our work. One hundred percent of your gift will be for medical missions in Asia and the Pacific Rim to reach unreached peoples for Christ. Thank you for your faithful partnership.

Location

Asian Pacific Rim Peoples

From the skyscrapers of Hong Kong and vast plains of Mongolia to smoky rainforests hiding winding rivers edged by golden sands, the natural beauty and long history of these Asia-Pacific Rim countries testify to God’s creative hand. This vast region houses four of the most populous global cities, as well as the country with the world's largest nominal population of Muslims.

Spirituality swirls through cities and countryside like the smoke from temple incense sticks. Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, animists, Daoists and ancestor worshipers live here, comprising 851 unreached people groups who have never heard that freedom is found in Christ. Pray for divine appointments for Christian workers to share that Jesus is the way to peace with God and eternal life. Ask God to glorify His name among the peoples of the Asian Pacific Rim Peoples affinity.
