The medical outreach program in Bongolo is centered around the hospital.  The hospital touches those with medical needs through list of services at the left.  Click on each one to review the subject of choice.

MISSION:    To provide basic health care services to all who come, regardless of their race or religion, and to share the love and message of Jesus Christ.

In their January 2001 meeting, Becki Thompson and her field strategy committee helped our medical team hammer out what our purpose and our objectives are for the next four years.

    Our PURPOSE is to help the Bongolo Evangelical Hospital staff and the Alliance Church of Gabon to assume responsibility for the hospital, for loving and caring for the sick with devotion and expertise, and for leading as many of them as possible to faith in Jesus Christ.

We identified seven OBJECTIVES for our medical team:

1)  Complete the physical structure of the hospital.
2)  Recruit and train spiritually mature, capable African replacements to assume responsibility for key positions:
    - Gabonese doctors
    - a nursing supervisor
    - two nurse dentists
    - a maintenance director
    - a bookkeeper/accountant
    - a nursing school director
3)  Train Christian African surgeons for our hospital and for other mission  hospitals through the Pan-African College of Christian Surgeons.
4)  Train Christian Gabonese to be capable nurses equipped to teach TEE.
5)  Assure that all who come for care at the BEH hear a clear presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
6)  Develop financial resources for the future.
7)  Develop community health education to combat AIDS, sexually transmitted disease, and abortion.
