All trips are subject to cancellation based on country requirements for quarantine and/or status of COVID-19 outbreak. A final decision will be made eight weeks prior to the trip departure.
Trip Description
Our medical team will be staying in a guesthouse in the city of Gbarnga and working with national pastors and medical care people. Each day we will help at the local medical outreach clinic or travel to local villages to hold remote medical clinics with missionary pastors. A key component of each clinic is taking patient histories, which is done in partnership with bilingual nationals. After taking the histories, we will treat all the patients for free before they are given the opportunity to hear the Gospel from a missionary pastor. Nearly all patients are happy to listen. At the end of each day, we take time to debrief and pray for the next day’s activities.
Team Members Needed
- 4 to 5 team members total
- At least 2 doctors
- At least 1 nurse
- Other team members do not need to be medical professionals
Ministry Support Funds: $1,400/per participant
Each trip has its own “Ministry Support” account at ABWE, to which each participant contributes. The funds cover all local travel, accommodations, meals, medical supplies used throughout the trip, and more. A predetermined amount of $100, to reserve placement, is submitted when assigned to a team. (This covers online training, background check, etc.) The balance needs to be submitted 45 days prior to departure. These funds may be submitted by the team participant or by others on their behalf.
Airfare: Approximate cost: $950-$1500
Participants are responsible for purchasing your own airfare. Tickets should not be purchased until information is provided to each team member by the team leader to ensure that your ticket can be coordinated so the entire team arrives on the same flight. There are very limited flights to Liberia on only a couple of international carriers.
Miscellaneous Expenses: $300-$1000
Each trip has varying miscellaneous expenses based on trip requirements (eg. passport [$110], visa [$175], optional additional travel insurance, travel vaccines and anti-malaria medicine, Covid testing (in Liberia) [$155], etc.) These requirements will be outlined in an email once assigned to the team.
