Jesus Rescue Team and Sungbok Missions Offer Free Medical Outreach in Tema Newtown Ghettos
In a heartwarming act of service, the Jesus Rescue Team, in collaboration with Sungbok Missions, has conducted a free two-day medical outreach in the Tema Newtown community, targeting vulnerable individuals living in ghetto areas. The outreach featured a team of doctors from the United States who provided free health screenings and consultations.
Speaking to the media, Missionary Michael Davies, the lead for Jesus Rescue Team, described the initiative as part of an ongoing mission to bring holistic transformation to Tema Newtown, particularly within its ghettos.
“This medical outreach is a buildup of what we’ve been doing for over nine years. Last year, we partnered with Zoomlion and Love Ghana Mission for a cleanup exercise, and we’ve seen tremendous transformation in both the lives of the people and their environment,” he noted.
Missionary Davies emphasized the importance of combining spiritual support with physical aid, particularly for residents living in unhygienic conditions. He pointed out that many of them cannot afford hospital bills, making accessible healthcare a pressing need.
“Souls are too precious to lose to the devil ,no matter how hopeless a situation may look,” he said. “Bringing doctors directly into the community can help save lives and prevent avoidable diseases.”
He also shared a disturbing insight from the outreach, revealing that some individuals began substance abuse as early as age nine. He urged parents to be more involved in their children’s upbringing, stressing that recovery from addiction is costly and complex.
Adding her voice, Pastor Deborah Hong, a representative from Sungbok Missions, called for increased support from individuals, churches, NGOs, and the government in reaching out to at-risk youth across Ghana.
“Many of these young people feel abandoned and fall into addiction due to peer pressure. Ghana is losing its future generation,” she lamented, adding that her passion for outreach stems from her own experience, as her mother was once a victim of drug addiction.
The outreach marks another step in the sustained efforts by faith-based groups to bring hope, health, and healing to neglected communities across the country.
