Tiruvalla
Medical Mission:
Both A
Health-Care Society And A Mission Field
From
a humble beginning it has grown to be a multi-specialty health care
institution which is now the largest Brethren hospital in Kerala. We have
a team of over 45 doctors, 150 students/Staff Nurses and about 250 employees.
Our OP serves more than 500
patients daily. The IP bed -strength of 300 is full most days.
Every day more than 1000 persons -including patients and their attendants
- get exposed to the gospel through preaching, personal counsel or by gospel
tracts etc. In the current political and religious trend in
India medical ministry such as this still has great freedom and opportunity
to carry out an effective service for our Lord. We have an active
community health service.
During the recent gospel convention
8 souls were led to the Lord . A full-fledged Assembly too functions
in the hospital chapel. Last fiscal year free treatment to the tune
of Rs.4.05 Million (US $ 90,000) was given to the Brethren evangelists,
Staff-dependants as well as the poor and weaker section of the society
cutting across religious barriers. Our charges are comparatively
cheaper, yet the financial performance quite healthy.
Open-air
Evangelism Is A Regular, And Unhindered Part Of TMM Ministry
Most of our buildings have well past
its life. The work has far out-grown the space and capacity of the old
buildings. So after careful consideration, prayer and much deliberation
the Governing Body has decided to construct the necessary buildings
and infrastructure in two phases. The first phase will consist of an OP
Block measuring 65,000 sqft., a hostel of 6800sqft. for the nurses, a canteen
and an extension of one in-patient ward. The financial outlay for
the first phase is Rs.65 Million (US $ 1.5 million). Taking the income
from the hospital plus the donations received so as a token from the Lord
we have launched out in faith. The construction is now in progress.
The financial commitment in
this project is huge, which we are not able to face alone. However
as we move in God's will as well as having the assured co- operation
of friends like you we believe God will enable us to do it. 'What is impossible
with man is possible with God'.
Please pray daily for TMM that its
ministry will be more effective. Please continue to support TMM's
projects with finance as the Lord enables you. Please also encourage your
friends and relatives to stand with us supporting this healing ministry.
