Caring for the needs of people is integral to the missionary tasks of evangelism, discipling new believers, training leaders and forming healthy churches. Healthcare missions gives access to the unreached, allows for intimate conversations, meets needs, makes disciples and empowers the church.

Healthcare Prayer and Celebrations Updated December 2023

Sub-Saharan Africa

In a mega-city in Africa our team is focused on reaching the whole of the city, this includes those living in slums, the refugees there, as well as those victim to the sex industry. As they reach out to women trapped in that life, they meet their physical and emotional health needs, but the need is great and the workers are few. Pray that the Lord of the harvest will call out His chosen healthcare workers with a heart for women’s health to come alongside and assist this ministry in effectively caring for needs and reaching even more women.

Many places around the world have no access to modern medical care despite great strides in healthcare systems. Even in places with strong national healthcare systems there are still patients on the edge, not getting the services they need. One of these needs is prosthetic limbs (and other prosthetics). Pray for workers engaging with local believers reaching out to the community needing prosthetics services. Ask the Lord to give opportunities to share with these patients and the funding to continue to supply this need. Posted March 2023

Pray for the ServeTours taking place this summer. In Armenia, Send Relief is sending almost 50 healthcare volunteers to work with local faith families to provide services and help them gain a voice to share the gospel with the lost. Ask that the Lord of the harvest prepare the way for the teams and prepare the hearts of those that will hear of Jesus because of this project. Posted March 2023

Healthcare providers can often find jobs in local and international institutions in other countries, and this allows them to meet the needs of the people and to be a light for the gospel. Pray that the Lord will call out His people to fill such roles and inspire in them the pioneering spirit and tenacity needed to be a persistent light in a dark place. Posted Dec. 2023

The mental health needs of the forcibly displaced are daunting. Our Father didn’t call us to work that is easy; sometimes it is work that is very difficult. Fortunately, He gives creativity and resources for us to meet needs and proclaim Him in all situations. Pray for teams working with the forcibly displaced around the world as they develop and use trauma-healing tools like story sets, coloring books, and others. Ask the Lord of the harvest to keep our field workers fresh so they can be a blessing to those among whom they minister. Posted Dec. 2023

Wars — there are those that make the news and those that don't. No matter how much we hear about them, armed conflicts take a dramatic toll — destroying healthcare infrastructure, displacing civilians, even displacing physicians, nurses, and other providers. Ask the Lord of the harvest to bring His healthcare workers to places where their efforts can be a blessing to those caught up in armed conflict. Posted Dec. 2023

Sub-Saharan Africa

Though over the years the IMB has turned hospitals over to national leadership, we still partner with them by providing healthcare workers to participate in the ministry of the institution. One of our former hospitals in Ghana currently has an IMB surgeon working there but continues in need of more doctors. Pray that the Lord of the harvest will bring His chosen physician to be a blessing to the people in the area and work with the hospital as they meet the world's greatest need: lostness.

Deaf Peoples

The culturally deaf worldwide present unique challenges to our efforts to reach the lost with the gospel. Often isolated in their families of origin, under educated and lacking resources in a language that communicates to them, we need to find good ways to share health information as well as the gospel with this huge group of people. Pray that the Lord give creativity and persistence as our health strategists work with our Deaf affinity to enhance the meeting of human needs and extend the proclamation of the gospel among these people.

Asia-Pacific Rim

People are hearing the gospel through healthcare ministries in Thailand! The clinic in Bangkla, Thailand is active and intentional in sharing with people in villages all over the country through mobile clinics. The fields are white for the harvest, but the workers are few. Pray that the Lord of the harvest will call out His person to join this clinic as a career healthcare provider to increase the impact of this ministry even more. Posted Sep. 2023
