In February I am heading overseas to Jordan on a 10 day medical mission trip. We will be providing medical care for Syrian
refugees and some local Jordanians who do not have access to medical care. I am excited for the opportunity to minister to this group of people. Many who have have
been displaced from their home country are facing a very difficult situation
in the refugee camps. I anticipate
that we will see a lot of people with some challenging medical needs given their
current living environment.
One challenge that we face is deploying medications to the
patients that we will be treating.
Normally on medical mission trips we are able to bring medications
through customs in personal baggage to use in country. However, our hosts in
Jordan have told us this method is not possible. Therefore, we will have to
purchase medications in Jordan to be able to serve in the capacity that we have
been called. There will be a
significant expense involved with this purchase and I am asking for you to consider contributing financially to this cause.
As a team we are hoping to raise $10,000 to purchase the necessary medications. I'm asking if you will consider making a $10 donation towards this purchase. Any funds that are raised above the
expense of the medications will be donated to our host group for the intent purpose of being
used towards addressing ongoing medical needs.
To give on-line, go to www.valleycommunity.cc /Online Giving. Select the 2014 Jordan Mission Trip and write "medications" in the memo section. If you prefer to pay by check, checks should be made out to Valley Community Baptist Church, write Jordan Mission Trip in the memo line and forwarded to me at my home address.
Many thanks to those who can help meet this need.
