OVER THE YEARS, VISION AFRICA HAS TREATED MORE THAN 500,000 PATIENTS IN OUR FREE MEDICAL MISSIONS. PRESENTLY WE SEE 300-900 PATIENTS AT EACH MEDICAL MISSION (DEPENDING WHETHER IT IS ONE, TWO OR THREE DAY MEDICAL MISSION). THE PEOPLE TREATED HAVE NO OTHER MEDICAL CARE AVAILABLE TO THEM. THEY LIVE IN THE OUTLYING VILLAGES. OUR SERVICES ARE FREE. EACH MEDICAL MISSION INCLUDES UP TO 10 DOCTORS, 2-4 NURSES, 2-4 PHARMACIST TECHNICIANS, AND SOMETIMES A PHARMACIST AND AN EYE DOCTOR. OUR MISSIONS PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES OUR BIBLES FOR PASTORS PROGRAM. EACH YEAR WE PURCHASE A LEATHER-BOUND COMPREHENSIVE STUDY BIBLE FOR EACH NEW ORDAINED PASTOR IN THE REGION (TYPICALLY 150). THE BIBLE WILL SOMETIMES BE THE ONLY BIBLE IN THE VILLAGE WHERE THE NEWLY ORDAINED PASTORS ARE ASSIGNED (SOMETIMES IT MAY BE THE ONLY BOOK OF ANY KIND). OUR MISSIONS PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES CHURCH PLANTS. THE CHURCHES ARE ESTABLISHED IN A WAY TO ENSURE THEY ARE NEEDED AND ACCEPTABLE TO THE INTENDED COMMUNITY AND CAN BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN A SHORT TIME FRAME.
