Many Ukrainians would never darken the door of an evangelical church, but compassionate healthcare can open their hearts to the hope of Jesus Christ. Cardiologists, dentists, nurse practitioners, ophthalmologists, physical therapists, and physician assistants are needed for short-term, mid-term, and long-term service, meeting the needs of those living in villages with minimal access to healthcare.
The Position
Interested in serving as a as a healthcare provider in Ukraine? Many opportunities for short-term, mid-term, or long-term service are available! For more than 20 years, our missionaries have been involved in providing healthcare in underserved, rural communities in partnership with local churches. In recent years, they have partnered with the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine to provide free clinics in areas that have been most impacted by the war.
The war in Ukraine has taxed an already struggling healthcare system and has opened the doors for believers to step into the gap with compassionate care in Jesus’ name, generally in the form of 1-2 day outreaches in rural areas. Many Ukrainians would never darken the door of an evangelical church, but healthcare can open their hearts to the hope of Jesus Christ.
This work is done alongside Ukrainian doctors, nurses, and medical students and provides the opportunity for mentoring spiritually as well as professionally. Those serving as general practitioners (physicians and nurse practitioners), specialists (such as dentists, ophthalmologists, and cardiologists) and physical therapists would be wonderful additions to our team!
The Need
Ukraine is reeling from great destruction, and people are sensitive and open to the Gospel. Years of war and uncertainty in Ukraine have created an openness to the gospel that is not seen in most other strongly orthodox countries.
Medical ministry further opens doors by providing compassionate care in underserved rural areas and in areas more severely impacted by the war. Opportunities abound to come alongside the church and reach out to the community.
The Impact
The medical ministry in Ukraine provides opportunities to use your medical skills, not just to meet physical needs, but also to meet spiritual needs. The ministry is focused on evangelism and coming alongside our Ukrainian partners in their church planting and church strengthening efforts. You can also invest in discipling young Christian healthcare professionals as they grow in their faith and learn how to use their profession to reach people with the gospel.
Will you join us in using your professional skills to reach the lost in Ukraine and beyond, and to disciple others to do the same?
