Trip Description

GO ZIMBABWE Medical

THIS TRIP HAS REACHED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS

Are you a medical professional looking for ways to use your skills for God’s glory? Or do you have a compassionate heart and a willingness to assist in a clinical setting through prayer and administration? Many in Zimbabwe are in desperate need of medications, treatments, control of malaria, typhoid, care of child illnesses and other ailments related to pain and skin conditions. Our team can assist in providing teaching and training with simple processes like hygiene, hand washing, and prevention of diseases that are prevalent in the county. This medical team’s focus in Zimbabwe is with relief from water borne illnesses, worms and parasites, pain management, childhood diseases and illnesses, HIV Testing, Malaria Testing, and Cholera Testing. Compassion Christian Church partners with the African Development Mission Trust and supports their ministry activity in regions of the country.

You do not have to be a licensed medical professional to participate on this team. There are roles for prayer, encouragement and assistance. However, priority will be given to licensed medical professionals of all kinds able to use their skills in a rural, clinical setting.
