Philippines

Host:  Charles Selby Memorial Hospital staff

Total Trip Cost:  $3250

Come join us as we take a FAME team to the Philippines!  We are very excited about partnering with the staff from the Charles Selby Memorial Hospital in Aparri.

We are seeking medical professionals such as Physicians, Nurses, PAs, NPs, Physical Therapists, Pharmacists, Dentists, and Optometrists in addition to the need for non-medical participants on this team.  We will be hosting multiple medical outreaches in local villages in and around Aparri.

Treating the basic health needs of people who will come seeking treatment is one of the ways our team can be used in ministry.  In addition, we hope to provide preventative health education that speaks to the specific health need of the patient.

Medical outreaches open doors for our Filipino hosts to engage in personal relationships with those who come to receive treatment from our team.  Through those relationships, the good news of Jesus can be shared and ultimately lives will be transformed.

The medical staff from the hospital will be serving side by side with our team and we are in hopes that the local pastor of each community will join us as well.

If you are a Surgeon or a Specialist, there is a place for you on this team!  The administration of the Charles Selby hospital has expressed the need for surgeons to come. They have an anesthesiologist available for all surgeries as well as a surgical staff.

Our ultimate goal is to bring glory to God in all that we do while serving in the Philippines!  Our hosts need encouragement as they serve the Lord each day in some pretty challenging conditions.  We want to join them as co-workers in the ministry they have been called to do.  This experience is exciting, challenging, fulfilling, and can be emotional at times.  Oh, and I forgot to mention, humbling.

Our accommodations will be in a hotel or guest house setting. Our meals will be provided as well as the need for transportation.  English and Filipino are the official languages of the Philippines, so we will be able to communicate effectively!

There are needs to be met and God’s love to be shared.  Won’t you join us?
