I recently had the pleasure of joining the Board of Directors for a truly wonderful organization, Mercy and Truth Medical Missions. Mery and Truth provides local and international healthcare services. They have two safety net clinics in the Kansas City area and also send medical teams on international mission trips, all focused on the underserved.
Mercy & Truth Medical Missions began in 1995. During a medical missions outreach Cathy Gordon and Heather Jones felt called to begin a medical missions organization in Kansas City. The idea of going out into the world demonstrating God’s love for people, reaching out and serving the poorest of the poor through the delivery of health care seemed unreachable. With prayer and guidance, this vision developed into a reality and Mercy & Truth Medical Missions was born.
The vision continued to grow and Mercy & Truth flourished as each medical mission team traveled to the remotest parts of the world, meeting spiritual needs and promoting health care. Mercy & Truth Medical Missions has sent teams into several countries of the world including Mexico, Russia, China, India, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil. The teams typically set up a mobile patient clinic to assess patient needs for health care and then provide medicines and treatments. Everyone who comes to the clinic is provided with health care as needed at no cost. In addition Mercy & Truth teams have also donated medicines and medical supplies to foreign hospitals and clinics as well as lectured in Russian, Chinese and Bolivian Universities. Rapid growth and development of Mercy & Truth over the past few years has steeled the original vision.
