YWAM Porto Velho | Health ministry
This ministry’s mission is to bring health to people and expand the Kingdom of God throughout the nations. Through basic health actions, we understand the message of the Gospel is complete. We have developed various projects through the laboratory, clinic, microscope school, basic healthcare school, short and long-term trips with health professionals. Our work is completely voluntary and non-profit.
Since its foundation in 1990, various professionals have come from Brazil and other locations throughout the world because of the needs of the Amazon communities. They have developed both short and long term healthcare projects. Little by little, we’ve been building the healthcare ministry on our base.
In 1992, we started malaria diagnosis e treatment center, in partnership with the City Council, because of the high index of malaria in this epidemic region where our base is located. After ten years, in 2002, God provided a miracle by the construction of a laboratory and in 2004, of a clinic. These buildings made possible and potentiated the assistance, with the participation of different partner universities, for this population of the lower area of the Madeira river and other regions. They gave the capacity to achieve different schools.
In this context, we have learned that leadership is to serve and the dream of individuals can be realized in this region or elsewhere. We believe that each individual has unique value and God wants our involvement in all areas of society. We believe and are doing all things for His glory because He first loved us. But it’s important to know that you can be one of us and you are always welcome here !
