Short-Term Missions Trip to the Republic of Congo - 2 weeks in June 2024 - The team will assist NewSight to set up their new eye hospital which is strategically located to reach several countries and countless communities. The hospital will serve as a hub of medical outreach in the region. The main task of this trip will be physically setting up furniture and equipment for the hospital. Although people with medical skills will not be able to provide direct patient care, your expertise can help the local team assess the needs of the area and provide insights for future expansion of services at the hospital. To find out more about the ministry, please go to their website. If you are interested in applying, please contact Lorraine Ho.
