Medical Care
Meeting Physical and Spiritual Needs
And He went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people.
-Matthew 4:23 (ESV)
Medical ministry has always been central to our strategy. Compassionate care builds trust, opens hearts, and creates opportunities to share the gospel.
Over 2 million patients have been served through Commissioned International (formerly BMDMI) medical Missions.
The Method
Hospital
We operate medical facilities in Guaimaca, Honduras and offer year-round clinical care while providing a wide variety of life-giving surgical procedures. The Guaimaca Hospital compound provides a medical clinic, emergency center, X-ray services, fully stocked pharmacy, and a diagnostic laboratory, and the Patrick Davis Memorial Surgery Center. These surgery teams usually consist of 15-35 team members and include the following personnel: surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, scrub techs, and other support personnel to operate the autoclave, transport patients, and tend to the spiritual needs of the patients and their families. Working together, medical professionals from Honduras and North America provide excellent care and life-changing surgeries that help save lives or significantly improve the quality of life for many Hondurans.
Village
Whether in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, or Nepal, teams may also set up medical and dental care in the villages in partnership with a local church or pastor. Some of the ministries and services offered in the villages by our team members could include:
● Medical clinic
● Dental clinic
● Eyeglass clinic
● Pharmacy
● Adult evangelism
● Children’s ministry
● Food distribution
● Team kitchen
● Construction
● Veterinary ministry
● Clothing & shoe distribution
Each team serves as a catalyst for the ongoing ministry in that area as a means to meet physical needs but also as a platform to share the gospel.
Medical Brigades
Medical Teams serve remote villages through our local churches, helping churches gain influence while providing critical medical care. Teams serve in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Nepal. Medical teams provide general medicine, dental, pharmacy, optometry, other medical specialties, and most of all – the hope of the gospel.
