GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES
You can help the hands that heal
The desire to help others and make a difference in the world is inside all of us. It’s the impulse that motivated volunteers to start this ministry, and today that same impulse continues to inspire this volunteer-powered organization.
Here are ways you can make a difference:
-

Both personally and professionally, I feel that the work we do fills my cup. I am able to learn, grow and build on my skills while giving back, and there is nothing quite like it. Our partners do work in communities that are difficult to access and their passion for the work never wavers even in the midst of adversity. I am encouraged by their dedication and it fuels me to think about models that will enhance their work.

Global Health Ministries is one of our community partners in Minneapolis, and hundreds of students on YouthWorks mission trips sorted and packed medical equipment that will be shipped around the world to underserved countries. These medical supplies will help some of the most vulnerable people in the world. There’s so much we can do to show God’s love when we partner together 🤝❤️

I joined a feasibility study and needs assessment project in Tanzania. I was genuinely surprised about how much I could contribute and there was huge overlap between my interests and our team’s impact … I was thrilled to support an organization that’s in it for the long haul. My participation both complicated and broadened my worldview, and the principles of our project will be a part of my career going forward.

In 2023, the linen ladies (a group of regular warehouse volunteers) personally prepared 1,501 boxes to be shipped overseas. That’s 43,287 individual items! In total, these women have volunteered 8,946 hours at GHM. What a gift for this ministry, and our partners overseas!

Phebe had asked for partnership assistance from GHM in the areas of management and financial sustainability at the hospital … Magdeline Aagard, GHM’s Director of Consulting pulled together a team including the GHM Director of Finance, Dr. Nary from Madagascar and myself… Our team spent 2 weeks on this initial consultation with Phebe. For me, it helps that I am retired and have flexibility in my schedule. However, a short-term trip like this could be easily managed if you are working.

The team didn’t know each other before the mission, but right at the beginning, we’ve got this “team spirit” allowing us to face obstacles and difficulties during the consultation with grace and patience … the interaction with each staff was an opportunity to know them and to have more information about their job particularly and the work at Phebe in general. This was a time to build them up as well from one-by-one conversation.
