Pray for GFA World’s Medical Ministry

Prevention is always better than the cure. But what if you can’t access either? Too poor to afford things like vitamins, vegetables, or routine doctor visits, families in need are left vulnerable to all kinds of illnesses. If untreated, these illnesses can eventually put their lives at risk. Medical camps are a huge part of GFA’s medical ministry.They offer free professional medical care and bring skilled doctors, medical staff, medicine and health education to areas where people rarely get to even see a doctor. Your prayers are needed for this life changing ministry!

Pray for more Medical Camps

For many people around the world, accessing healthcare is not an option. They are located hours from a hospital or clinic, and even if they could get there, they most likely could not afford the treatment. All they can do is hope to get better, enduring their ailments in the meantime. But some do not ever recover, they die from preventable and treatable conditions.

Pray for medical camps to be brought to many more villages. Please pray the Lord will provide the necessary resources and bring together the right people to run the camps. Pray God will guide those who are in dire need of treatment to get help at the camps.

Pray for Doctors and Staff

Every medical camp is run by GFA National Missionaries who team up with experienced nurses and doctors to see patients and offer treatment. This can be a gruelling process as often hundreds of people come to the camp seeking medical attention. Every ailment is different, requiring a different solution, and it can be taxing to determine the right treatment for each patient.

Pray for the doctors and other staff at the medical camps to have the strength to conduct the camps and help as many patients as possible. Pray they understand the ailments they encounter and know the proper treatment for each one.

Pray for Provision

We are so excited that GFA’s medical camps have helped thousands of people to get free medical treatment and medication! However, many more people need this life-giving help. Medical camps are made possible partly by the generous support of loving partners on the other side of the world.

Please pray that more people will be made aware of the opportunity to fund medical camps, so we can continue healing those in need. Please also pray for more donors to raise up and answer the call to support our medical camps.

Pray for Discernment

Lots of people and communities would be blessed by a free medical camp. Poor families often need medical help but just can’t afford it. 4.13 billion people who live in hard-to-reach areas have to walk over an hour just to get to any kind of healthcare centre.* When they get there, they might not even be able to afford the help they need. We love to respond and are thrilled about the difference it’s making. But, with so many opportunities, our leaders need God to show them where to go next.

Please pray God will guide our National Missionaries, showing them when and where to hold Medical Camps.

Pray God’s Love Will be Present

Brothers and sisters on the field not only offer treatment or preventative care, but they also display the love of God. GFA-supported workers bring hope and comfort to the suffering in Asia and Africa.

Pray for the sick and weary, that they may find the love of God in the care and comfort offered by our National Missionaries.
