Mission of Hope: Mission Medical Clinic 3

(Photos taken during a Mission of Hope medical clinic in spring of 2010.

    Mission of Hope is a ministry that was birthed some years ago into the hearts of Errol and Laarni Pitre shortly before Errol was to retire. This page continues telling the story of the latest trip for another USA Team arriving for Mission Medical Clinic 3. The Clinic is worked inside the concrete block church building on the island of Mindoro, managed by Errol and Laarni Pitre, and sponsored by a church on the main island of Manila. This is a "faith work" which emphasizes compassion, evangelizing, and the Gospel. See Errol's latest email. An Evangelical Medical Team (most of it members having worked as part of Mission Medical Clinics 1 and 2) operate out of Manila and this Medical Team will work the Clinic, with help from the USA Team and Christians from the sponsoring church in Manila.

    During the days of the clinic over 400 men, women, and children were fed and over 300 accepted Jesus Christ as Savior. Moreover, many boxes of clean used clothes were handed out to children. With the giving of free meals, free haircuts and grooming, candy and trinkets, etc., this is quite an undertaking. Errol and Laarni, and the Christians from the United States, and the members of the sponsoring church in Manila wanted to give their best to the Lord and to the people in the villages on the island of Mindoro.

    Furthermore, some health issues like birth defects, malaria, and sight problems are referred to specialists in the Philippines who will work for little or no cost. And when that is not enough help, the Pitres try to secure arrangements with doctors in the United States and elsewhere.

Several evenings of the clinic, after the crowds were gone, the USA Team went with Errol and Laarni to other villages not too distant where people mostly did not go to to the clinic. They handed out gifts in each village, loved on the people, and witnessed more need.

Following the Mission Medical Clinic is a day primarily for children in the local area of several villages. Churches on the island of Manila collected
good used clothes, etc. for this day. Both the local Medical Team and the USA Team helped in sorting and then in cleaning the children, etc.

I trust that you have enjoyed the Mission of Hope's Mission Medical Clinic 3, and that you will hold up the work of the Pitres' ministry in your prayers.
Consider supporting their financial needs, and consider emailing them with encouragement, and consider possibly going with them on another mission.
Errol is a retired engineer and Laarni is a licensed school teacher in the Philippines.
Moreover, we at Christian Wilderness Press desire your prays for this website.  Thank you, Ron



    From Errol : The Mission of Hope is an ongoing work in need of monthly support and prayer.

     Ron, thanks for your help. God bless.

The ministry of Mission of Hope is operated in faith.
