Missions Change Everything!
by Benjamin Kip, ASAP Field Director
When the village chief who had once persecuted the Adventists in his village stepped into our medical clinic, in the Adventist Village where they now lived, it marked more than a medical visit. We could see that God was working in his heart to bring reconciliation! Once a fierce opponent of Christianity, he had driven Seventh-day Adventist church members from his village. Now, he came seeking medical care from our team in the village of the very people he had once persecuted.
Recently, ASAP Ministries led a life-changing medical mission trip to a restricted country, where we provided medical services to more than 1,200 people.
A team of 15 overseas volunteers assisted with medical screenings, massage, dental services, health education, and vision support.
Of course, mission trips like this are not just about physical healing. They are all about working with God to open doors through acts of service. We were thrilled to see God’s hand move in another village chief’s heart. He traveled three hours with 30 of his people to attend our health expo. Moved by what he witnessed, he invited future teams to return and share not only health knowledge but also more about Christianity.
