Pick up your corner of the cot!
In the gospels, four friends did what a paralyzed man could not do himself: they brought him to Jesus. They went to extraordinary lengths to do so, letting no obstacle stand in their way. Through their efforts the man was able to receive physical healing. But that was not the whole story. Jesus also forgave his sins, so he received spiritual healing as well.
Four Friends International strives to do what those four men did. Our mission is to establish medical clinics in poverty-stricken regions, bringing the healing power of Christ to people in need. But there is more! By partnering with local churches in this endeavor, people can receive spiritual healing as well.
Our first clinic opened in August, 2015 and now treats patients Monday through Saturday of each week. It is located in Los Laureles, a poor village near the city dump in Jalapa, Guatemala. We are now building a second clinic in Los Pinos, a rural community on the opposite side of Jalapa. Our vision is to eventually have clinics in several countries, each adjacent to and supported by a loving church.
Four Friends International is looking for Christians who will help in this ministry. As you navigate this website, perhaps God will lay on your heart what role you can play. Nobody can do it all, but each person can do the particular job he or she is called to do. Like those four friends, you have the opportunity to cooperatively make a huge difference in individual lives. So pick up your corner of the cot and help Four Friends International bring the sick to Jesus.
