Ukraine Medical Outreach

Begun in 2001, Ukraine Medical Outreach is a ministry committed to proclaiming God’s glory through the practice of medicine. Through Bible studies with medical personnel, village outreaches, and hands-on care, UMO models a Christ-like approach to caring for patients.

In January 2005, UMO became officially affiliated with International Faith Initiatives, Inc. Under their leadership, UMO is fleshing out the Saline Solution, an American program that teaches physicians how to share their faith with their patients.

IFI is experienced in designing long-term follow-up plans, an important element of the Saline Solution.

UMO is actively building relationships with the Ukrainian medical community through conferences and village outreaches as well as through visits to hospitals and orphanages.

Not wanting to duplicate ministries, UMO welcomes partnerships with other organizations involved in medical works. The possibilities of working with a mobile clinic, potentially setting a plan in motion and acting as a consultant for a large ministry interested in expanding their medical expertise throughout Ukraine and other eastern European countries, as well as helping church plants, beginning a ministry to children with AIDS, and continuing work with orphanages are all open to us.
