In 1980, an early morning men’s prayer group at a church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was planning a mission outreach to Guatemala. A member of that group, Harold Harder, a PhD pharmacologist and medical school professor, joined the team as its acting pharmacist after sensing a desire to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of Mayans. His role was to solicit donated medicines. At the time, Guatemala was in the midst of civil war. Despite the apparent danger, Harold and his wife, Linda, knew they had to be obedient to God.
Our vision is to heal the hurting globally and locally by providing life-saving pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and medical supplies to medical mission teams, clinics, and hospitals; to build healthy communities by treating the poor and victims of endemic medical problems, outbreaks of disease, or overwhelming disasters; and to transform lives by actively demonstrating the love and compassion of Jesus Christ.
