Mission: Blessings International''s mission is to facilitate medical missions primarily in developing nations by serving as a source of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. Founded in 1981 by Dr. Harold Harder after personally observing the dire need for even the most common medicines on his first medical mission trip. Blessings endeavors to provide essential medicines necessary for the treatment of disease and maintenance of general health, including those for the eradication of parasites infecting many children and adults in developing nations. It is our desire that the combination of medicine, prayer and evangelism will bring the needy more readily to Jesus as Saviour and Lord.
Programs: Blessings operating programs include:Shipping pharmaceuticals to full time clinics or hospitals in developing nations where we have previously established projects. Sending pharmaceuticals with short-term medical teams holding clinics or serving hospitals in developing nations. By working with physicians or other medically trained individuals who are part of a ministry or local church's medical mission outreach, pharmaceuticals from Blessings have been distributed to over 125 developing nations on 5 continents. Disaster relief, as well as on going relief and development projects, are a major emphasis of our ministry.
