In early February I am heading back overseas to Jordan on a 10 day medical mission trip. Again this year, we will be providing free medical care for Syrian refugees and some local Jordanians who do not have access to medical care. I am excited for the opportunity to go back and minister to this group of people who continue to be displaced from their home country and are facing a very difficult situation in Jordan. Last year we treated over 700 refugees (~400 for medical treatment and 300 for dental care). This year we anticipate that we will see a lot more people.
Normally on medical mission trips we are able to bring medications through customs in personal baggage to use in country. However, like last year our hosts in Jordan have told us this method is not possible. Therefore, we will again 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 $12,000 to purchase the necessary medications and cover the costs of the trip. I'm asking if you will consider making a $20 donation towards this trip. Any funds that are raised above the expense of the medications and/or the trip will be donated to our host group for the intent purpose of being used towards addressing ongoing medical needs.
If you are able to make a tax-deductible donation to go online to this link and select my name.https://vcbc.ccbchurch.
All donations need to be received by January 24th.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Below are some pictures taken last year.
Many thanks to those who can help meet this need.
Keep Smiling,
