Another December Miracle

ACCTS through partnering with New Life Providence Church, Virginia, went on a medical mission to help the Syrian Refugees and desperate Jordanians in the North of Jordan.

December 2013

Al Husn, Irbid - Jordan (ACCTS-Refugees) – In December, ACCTS coordinated with New Life Providence Church located in Virginia, USA to arrange for a medical campaign at Al Husn Baptist church in the North. The campaign was a resounding success and a good opportunity to share love and offer much-needed treatment for both Jordanian and Syrian refugee families.

A team of four doctors and three nurses along with their team Leader; the church’s mission Pastor Doug Chandler; besides another two Jordanian doctors were able to help 550 Patients who were desperate for the treatment, but couldn’t afford it.

Families were served through free checkups, medication,

children's activities, and prayer

Syrians and Jordanians in the North; Irbid and Al Husn were the target group. Patients were reached and followed up through the Distribution Points consisting of churches, where announcements were declared and reporting was proceeded.

A special Program was arranged supported by kids’ specialists, who cared for the kids and prepared some exciting activities; a schedule rich with games, drawing and coloring.

“Amazing!”

“My heart is full.”

“When can we go back?”

“Do all missions’ trips go this smoothly?”

“One of the best experiences I’ve ever had!”

These are some of the comments from the team members as they reflected on an amazing week of ministry in Jordan this past December.

Humanity is the Best Therapy

People were very thankful and felt relieved after the sessions. Still, however, as precious and as important is the medication that we were providing, the humanity that we showed them was what truly pierced their hearts.

May God be glorified and His love made real through every word and act of service sown!”- Meet Partner Doug Chandler- New Life Providence Church- VA, Chesapeake who shares his reflections on the outreach experience through the following link.
