Coming Soon - APHC Outreach

Outreach Planning Meeting


Twelve weeks of lecture from Immunizations to Malnutrition. Evenings spent memorizing drug therapies and Malaria protocol. Midnight cramming for exams. Hands on IV, teeth pulling, cardiology, dental hygiene and physical exams.
Now it's time to put it all to work. The next 3 months, these trained, compassionate imitators of Christ will provide basic health care for Senegalese villages and a major city in the neighboring country of Mauritania.

Following are pictures taken when Tim and I accompanied Dr. Adamson to the village of Naikhar, North of Fatick and East of Mbour. Another team will be located in the Casamance region of Senegal, in the village that Aliou (snake charmer and barista) is from.

Typical Rural Village

APHC Students will be living with families in these villages

These women are pounding Millet into what will eventually be Couscous.

A Staple of the Senegalese diet.

Grain Storage

A typical source of water is the community well

The Mauritania team will be residing in a major city. Mauritania is a closed nation to the gospel. It is illegal for a person to convert from the Muslim faith to Christianity. It is also illegal to proselytize in any manner. Mauritania is located in the Sahara Desert. I have had the honor of meeting Mauritanian missionaries coming through Senegal. They love the people and the country. They work under constant persecution - WITH JOY!

Please pray for all of the teams, for safety, and wisdom.
