“Forty percent of the patients we saw had scabies, 30% had diabetes, and 20% had hypertension. The remaining 10% had other medical issues,” shared our international partner, John. “By the grace of God and the donation from Quiet Hour Ministries, this was the first-ever free medical clinic hosted in this area.”  

In a world where more than half the population lacks access to essential health services, clinics like these are not just helpful—they’re lifesaving. 

Alongside traditional evangelism—through gospel workers, evangelistic meetings, and the distribution of religious materials—we also support local churches in hosting medical clinics to meet the needs of their communities. 

This particular clinic was hosted in a country unfriendly to Christianity. Yet just in one day, 154 people in received medical consultations, hygiene and lifestyle counseling, and spiritual support.  

According to the 2023 Universal Health Coverage Global Monitoring Report, less than one-third of countries worldwide have improved their health service coverage over the past two decades in efforts to reduce out-of-pocket expenses. 

“For people in our community, they’re unable to feed their families three times a day,” explained John.  

If families can’t afford food, how can they be expected to pay for medical care? 

“The patients appreciated the facilities provided at the medical clinic and thanked God for the work that was done,” said John. “Jane approached with her family, having scabies on all of them. She was given consultation on how to take care of her family so that scabies could be eradicated from her family. Medicine and advice on hygiene were given to her and her family. She was grateful and prayed for the blessing of God for the medical team and the ministry that supported them.” 

In places where Christianity is unwelcome, these clinics allow us to be the hands and feet of Jesus—meeting needs, offering dignity, and planting seeds of faith. 

Just as Matthew 9:35 tells us, “Jesus went to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.” That’s the model we follow: caring for both physical and spiritual health. 

In addition to this clinic, QHM has provided funding for another two clinics, 1000 Bibles in the local language, and children’s ministry materials.  

Jesus’ ministry was holistic—and so is ours. We introduce people to who He is, not just through our words, but through compassionate action.
