Jesus Healing Center

 

The Jesus Healing Center is open and saving lives.

Thank you Partners!

 

Our "remote medical clinics" save lives, and we are able to treat entire villages of poor people living high in the mountains.  However, there are times when we find a malnourished child that should be in a clinic to receive ongoing care, or a young woman who needs a clean and sanitary place to deliver her baby.   After seeing the same issues time and time again, the Lord laid it upon our hearts to build a medical/ malnutrition clinic on the Love A Child property in Fond Parisien.  Once more, we were pushed to take a "step of faith."   We call this wonderful medical facility our

Jesus Healing Center/ Malnutrition Clinic.

This facility is such a blessing to the poor in Fond Parisien and surrounding areas.

 

We thank all of our Love A Child Partners for helping build the Jesus Healing Center.  We realize that your support, prayers and love built this wonderful facility. 
THANK YOU!
 
After the Clinic was built, our main concern was "where are we going to get the money for the equipment, supplies, furniture, labs, two pharmacies, etc?"  A miracle happened... Joyce Meyer Ministries - Hand of Hope contacted us and sponsored the entire "start up cost" of the clinic! 
 
Another problem we had was this... Since all the poor people will be coming to the clinic, how will we be able to pay the entire Haitian medical staff, lab costs, medicines and everything necessary to keep the clinic running each month?  The Lord supplied this miracle too.  The Lord moved on Joyce Meyer Ministries - Hand of Hope to cover the monthly operating cost of the clinic, including the supplies, medicines, and staff!  What a tremendous blessing!  Thanks a million to Hand of Hope!

 

The Jesus Healing Center is up and running thanks to our wonderful partners.  We have some of the best medical professionals working to help those in great need here in Haiti.

Our Haitian Medical Staff...

Staff for the Jesus Healing Center

We have a great Haitian medical staff.  We are so blessed to have Christian doctors, nurses, lab technicians and pharmacists working in the Jesus Healing Center.  Each one works hard to help the people who come to our Jesus Healing Center for medical care.

Waiting area for the Jesus Healing Center

The above picture shows where the patients first gather before seeing a doctor or nurse.  Our patients sit on the beautiful porch of the Jesus Healing Center and complete a dossier (medical paperwork) before seeing one of our medical professionals.  During this time, one of our workers has prayer with the people, talks to them about hygiene and shares Gospel tracts.  Before our patients ever enter the Clinic, God's love is shared.

 

Malnutrition Center...

Once inside the clinic, each patient is taken to the area which will best help him or her.  Below you see many mothers with their children in our Malnutrition Center in our Jesus Healing Center.

Malnutrition Class

Our Social Nurse has "classes" with these mothers to teach them how to take care of their underweight and malnourished children.  Treating the children in our clinic is one thing, but teaching the mothers how to feed them with "what little they have" is another.

 

Mothers learn how to care for her children...

Mothers with babies

By educating the poor mothers who come to our clinic, we hope to save thousands of toddlers and babies that would otherwise die from severe malnutrition.  The Malnutrition Center will allow us to care for infants and small children who suffer from the different forms of malnutrition,  Marasmus and Kwashiorkor.

Types of Malnutrition...

Babies who look "large" are usually bloated and malnourished, they have been fed cornmeal, flour or crackers with no milk or protein.  They lack proper nutrition and become very sick and near death in many cases.
Kwashiorkor baby
The "bloated looking babies" with severe kwashiorkor malnutrition are actually in more danger than the skinny, "skeleton-like" babies who have marasmus.

A Great Need...

In March, a team member brought a portable ultrasound to use in our clinic. We saw what a great blessing the equipment was when it showed two serious problems with pregnant women who came to the clinic.  We will able to provide the necessary treatment to keep the mothers and babies healthy.

Jack and Angie working with Haitian doctor

We need a portable ultrasound for the Jesus Healing Center.  With a portable ultrasound, we can use it in the Jesus Healing Center and take it to the mountains to assist in our mobile medical clinics.  The cost of the equipment is between $25,000-$28,000.  If you can help with getting Love A Child this piece of equipment, please send an email to info@lachaiti.org.


Another Great Need for our Jesus Healing Center - A portable digital X-Ray machine, the latest technology, which does not use the old "X-Ray Film or chemicals," but instead the X-rays will go right into the computer and can be printed out.  This digital X-Ray equipment can be used in any room!  The cost is $8,000.  Please pray about how you can help provide this equipment for our Jesus Healing Center.  If you can help, please email us at info@lachaiti.org.


American Volunteers Needed...

Doctors and Nurses are needed to stay for 3-6 months or longer, as a "tour of duty," on the mission field.  Love A Child is praying especially that the Lord will send us a retired missionary doctor who wants to live in Haiti full-time and work in the Jesus Healing Center.  We will provide the best accommodations, which include a beautiful room, small kitchen and living area with air conditioning and a bathroom with a shower.  Please email us at info@lachaiti.org for more information.
