Close your eyes and think back to the last time you suffered with a painful dental or medical malady. Now, imagine if there were no hope for relief and you are left with the anxiety of facing the days ahead with no answer to your problems and no remedy for your pain. Many individuals in the world cannot just book an emergency appointment when something goes wrong with their health, and sometimes there are emergency situations so catastrophic that the event extends beyond the abilities of local medical organizations to support. This is where mercy comes in\u2014mercy in the form of dental and medical attention for those who would otherwise be unable to access the help they need, when they need it. There are heroes among us who have stepped forward to be the extension of God\u2019s hands and feet\u2014Christian-backed medical organizations filled with people who are prepared to serve when they are most desperately needed. Here are some of the Top Christian-Backed Medical Organizations in existence today.<\/p>\n
1. Hospitals of Hope<\/a><\/strong> The motto \u201cShowing Christ\u2019s love by healing bodies and souls\u201d is demonstrated in every opportunity they are given to serve. From self-contained medical units ready to ship in a moments notice, to hospitals and relief buildings scattered throughout third world countries, Hospitals of Hope provides mercy and hope to the hopeless.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. World Medical Mission \u2013 Samaritan\u2019s Purse<\/a><\/strong> The founder of Samaritan\u2019s Purse, Bob Pierce, wrote in his Bible, \u201cLet my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God\u201d. Now under the leadership of Franklin Graham, the organization has grown beyond what was imagined, as it gravitates to the epicenter of earthquakes, hurricanes, famine and war to share the love of Christ and demonstrate his mercy in very practical ways.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Global Health Relief \u2013 Christian Medical & Dental Associations<\/a><\/strong> This ministry of an existing association of Christian medical and dental professionals combined with its partnership with the Salvation Army\u00a0creates a logistically sound and powerfully effective and efficient organization for responding to crisis situations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. AMG International<\/a><\/strong> The AMG stands for Advancing the Ministries of the Gospel, which just about sums up who AMG International is and what they do. AMG is a missionary agency working in over 390 countries providing both physical and spiritual relief to countless thousands in need. \u201cWe endeavor to meet people at their point of need whether it be hunger, sickness, or hopelessness, and show them Jesus as the only answer to the problems of this life and the only hope for eternal life.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. Operation Blessing<\/a><\/strong> Operation Blessing not only provides physical relief but also focuses efforts to equip the people they serve with sustainable solutions: Hygiene education, life skills training, community gardens, and other similar efforts. OB personnel are serving in 37 countries, providing disaster relief, medical care, hunger relief, orphan care, and community development programs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. Project Hope<\/a><\/strong> Project Hope is truly ambitious about contributing medical solutions and relief to those in need. Providing a variety of humanitarian assistance programs, the organization ships $200 million every year in necessary commodities supporting their efforts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7. Medair<\/a><\/strong> Medair facilitates the means for medical professionals, humanitarians and those willing to learn, to exercise skills in serving those in need. Each volunteer with Medair serves to \u201chelp save and sustain the lives of people who truly need assistance, while also learning new skills in a complex humanitarian environment.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8. Christian Mission Aid<\/a><\/strong> CMA\u2019s vision is summarized in Galatians 6:10: \u201cTherefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.\u201d Their approach is simple: to help others help themselves so as to quickly propagate the progress of their efforts to others in need.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
