Adventures in Outreach: Health and Wellness in Remote Villages in the Philippine

People have asked, so we’re delivering!

Here’s an episode longer than the 90 second reels we normally post. Now you’ll get a better glimpse of what it’s like to serve with us, especially if you’re still thinking about volunteering or you’re about to make the trip across the water to the Philippines. This is what our Mondays look like (not always doing the long hike though). I get that our work can confuse people. Do we spend our days in a business office, underwater, in a classroom, on the streets, or in the mountains? The answer is yes. On this day we had Dr. Paulina with us from Hope Alive Clinic along with medical students learning from her. And members of Hope Rescue were pushing forward too. The ambulance ended up getting stuck in the mud though. And we had to bring it to the shop this morning because it went kaput on us from all that off road action. We kind of really really need a 4x4 “rescue” truck if anyone wants to donate their old one to the organization. It’s never good when the ambulance is out of commission. Check out the video and take a trip with us if your attention span can extend beyond 90 seconds!

What you won’t see me talk about in this Youtube channel is that beyond the health and wellness is our priority to care for the spiritual lives of the people we meet. Sharing the Gospel and prayer happens with every patient and resident that we get to help.
