What We Do
Praying for the sick, Educating and Lifting up those in need.
Our hospital ministry touches the lives of families in crises, those saying good bye and those celebrating new life. We minister not only to the patients and families, but to the nurses, doctors, and staff, through gifts, lunch, and prayer.
Dana teaches on labor and delivery with classes held at the hospital and in the villages, so that new moms are prepared for the arrival of their babies. A gift of celebration is given to each new mom to provide much needed supplies for their hospital stay and after. This gift contains things like baby outfits, blankets, baby shampoo, baby oil, diapers, wipes, bottled water, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products and a Bible.
Delivery and Aid
Birthing training and midwifing
Dana is a doula and helps many moms by offering labor and delivery classes around Cayo, Belize.
As part of this ministry, new moms are provided with supplies before they go into labor, thus enabling them to have something to take to the hospital, which she delivers to them at the hospital. When the mom and baby are released from the care of the hospital, the care and friendship continue, with calls, advice or needed supplies. At a home visit Dana offers advice on breastfeeding and other care if needed to makes sure the baby is thriving.
COMPASSION AND SUPPORT
Hospital visitations and entertainment
The emergency room is often filled with many patients from infants to adults. We sit and visit with them, sharing God’s love, praying for them, and providing the compassion and mercy so needed in a time of sickness and crisis. Gifts are given to them such as bibles, word search books, colors, puzzles, and cards. All patients are in one room (like a gym room), so things to keep them entertained while they are in the hospital are greatly appreciated.
