Miles 4 Missions

Join us April 1-30, 2022 as we walk for Crosslink’s Miles 4 Missions! Our goal is to raise $12,000 to help equip Crosslink with resources necessary for operations, gathering and storing donated supplies, which enables us to provide materials and support to local and international mission teams. We believe in medical missions and know we are called to continue equipping and serving medical mission teams. In 2022 we’ve already equipped teams serving in Liberia, Ukraine, Peru, Togo, Nigeria, the United States, and Venezuela. During the month of April, we will be reflecting on the distance and challenging travel conditions families face to receive medical care from medical mission teams.
 
A recent Crosslink supported mission report from the Ivory Coast highlights the distance many traveled to the clinic and the great need for this clinic, “Some patients walked six miles on mountainous terrain to receive medical care. Medications received from Crosslink were exactly what the team needed to treat the most prevalent tropical diseases, including Malaria, Typhoid Fever, Amebic Dysentery, and parasite infestation.” I don’t know about you, but I cannot imagine walking one mile, much less six, with any of these maladies, especially over mountainous terrain. Some of these patients were mommas with young children.
 
The great news is that during the five days of clinic, the team treated 1,876 patients, and 586 made professions of faith!! Medical missions are important for so many reasons. As the host pastor for the Ivory Coast trip describes, “If we said, ‘Come hear the Word of God,’ no one would come. But, when we say, ‘Come for medical care; they come. It breaks down barriers.”

 We hope you will join us!
