Only after other options are exhausted is this fund used. First presbyterian was involved in the organization of this group some four years ago. Church members continue to be active in its operation. The Ministry is a partnership of denominations and congregations who pool their funds so that persons in crisis have only one place to go to seek assistance in a loving atmosphere. Consequently, clients can be counseled, careful records can be kept, and appropriate measures taken to guide persons to the proper agency or to give help at the ministry.
Church members serve as volunteers and also on the board.
This hospital serves as the only medical facility for over 30,000 people who suffer greatly from malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis, and other tropical diseases. Our annual contribution is made through Medical Missions, Inc., a ministry of Trinity Presbytery, for operating cost at the hospital. Two church members visited Mwandi on a MMI mission work trip in 1994.
