Trip Description: Jan-Mar 2027
We will be partnering with a local team and assisting them in doing medical evangelism at strategic outreach points. Our team will be a balance of medical and non-medical personnel. Trip space is limited.
Each weekday, we will travel to a clinic location where we will be joined by a national team that has quietly seen the Good News spread to scores of communities. This region is very open to prayer, so we seek to pray with patients as often as possible. A key component of each clinic is taking patient histories, which is done in partnership with bilingual nationals, and which offers opportunities for prayer. At the end of each day, we take time to debrief and pray for the next day’s activities.

Ministry Support Funds: TBD/per participant

Airfare: TBD
Participants are responsible for purchasing your own airfare. Information will be 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 or within a short time of each other. Comprehensive details to prepare for this trip will be communicated by the team leader once you are assigned to the team.
Miscellaneous Expenses: $100+
All first-time healthcare team trip participants must complete specific online training ($75) and each participant must purchase team specific travel/emergency insurance ($25) through ABWE. Instructions to complete the training and secure insurance will be given once trip assignment has been made. Other miscellaneous expenses may include routine vaccines and/or specific vaccinations dependent on country requirements. Special instructions for a visa for South Asia will be given to team members by the team leader.
The Need
Thailand, located in Southeast Asia, is one of these unreached nations, with the majority held in the darkness of spiritism and Buddhism and only 0.76 percent of the population professing evangelical Christianity. For the Thai people to hear the gospel, laborers will need to go, proclaim the gospel, and make disciples. Yet two types of jungles—those in the cities and in rural villages—present unique challenges that must be overcome to reach this nation for Christ.
The Impact
Use your medical skills on the mission field to heal people physically and spiritually. In our nearly 100 years of ministry, we have seen compassionate medical care soften hearts to hear the message of the Gospel, changing lives for today and eternity, but we can’t do this without you.
