Our Mission
To raise the poor (with disabilities) from the dust and give them
a place of physical dignity,
spiritual restoration and
capability in Christ. —Psalm 113:7&8 | Phillippians
4:13 | Titus 3:4&5
Our vision
To establish wheelchair repair centers in developing nations as places
of ongoing ministry to the disabled. We desire to train up persons
with disabilites to repair and distribute the wheelchairs with help
from
local churches and charities.
In the past, we have worked to establish such centers in Honduras and
Bolivia. From 2000 through the present, we have helped establish The
Wheelchair Project in Chaing
Mai, Thailand.
Our strategy
- Collect
used and discarded durable medical equipment; wheelchairs, walkers,
bedside commodes, canes, etc.
- Refurbish
or recycle the medical equipment we receive.
- Distribute
the refurbished equipment to the needy by collaborating with established
agencies who share a similar statement of faith and equipping vision
for the country, and will assess each persons needs. Along with
the equipment, we or the agency also provide home health care instruction
and Christian ministry.
- Establish
continuing ministry within the country through partnering agencies,
- or form an overseas chapter to set up a repair shop, preferably run
by persons with disabilities. Help the local churches within the country
grow in their outreach and ministry to the disabled.
- Educate
Americans in churches and civic groups about the physical and spiritual
condition of the disabled in developing nations throughout the world.
- Maintain accountability through
local churches and membership with TECH (Technical Exchange for
Christian Healthcare)
