Marine Reach Ministries Medical Team in Albania

Marine Reach Ministries based in the UK are currently on outreach in Albania. They have been partnering with the Youth With A Mission location in Elbasan in the centre of the Roma Gypsy community.

During the first two weeks there the team has been running a dental clinic at the YWAM Elbasan centre. They have been overrun by the needs of the people there during these two weeks. They have been treating children and adults alike, and also providing tooth brushes and education about proper dental care.

They team has also been able to visit a local mental institution during both weeks to help with the many needs there.

During the second week of outreach the team has also been doing eye screening for cataract surgery. They have found numerous possible candidates for the surgery. The next outreach that the team will embark on will be focused on Ophthalmology, and the process has now been started for these candidates to regain their eyesight.

While performing the dental and eye screening the team came across other illnesses like high blood pressure and diabetes. Although not planned, nurses from the team have been able to provide health advice and education to help the patients deal with their conditions.

You can find out more about the outreach on the YWAM Marine Reach Ministries Medical web-site, medicalmission.co.uk.

Global Outreach Day

25 May 2013 is Global Outreach Day. The idea is that millions of people around the world would go out on that day and share Christ to their friends, family, and community. This is not a YWAM event, but rather an idea to mobilise the entire Church, every single believer,
