Mission Statement

"Global Health Ministries continues the healing ministry of Jesus Christ by enhancing health care programs of Lutheran churches in other countries."

We do this by:

Funding approved health care projects, scholarships, support for charity patients, capital improvements, development of appropriate technology, and more
Gathering and shipping useful donated health care equipment and supplies to countries where such materials are not available or are very expensive
Communicating to groups and congregations the opportunities and needs of the church's overseas health care programs
Praying for the church's health care missionaries and those they serve
Recruiting nurses, dentists, doctors, surgeons, and allied workers for overseas service through Lutheran mission boards
Advising mission boards, synods and other groups on health care mission issues out of the rich reservoir of knowledge and experience of GHM supporters

Your financial contributions help cover the cost of:

Facilities for patient care
Mosquito netting to protect a family from malaria
Monthly subsidy for a remote clinic
Drilling a village well
Training cost for nurses, technicians and other health care personnel
Combating the spread of HIV/AIDS and supporting those already affected
Sending a sea container of donated medical supplies

"... If we have the world's goods and see our brothers and sisters in need, yet close our hearts against them, how does God's love abide in us?" (Paraphrase of 1 John 3:17)
