Operation Care Ministry: April 2008

March of 2008, marks the partnership of Community Baptist Church with Operation Care Ministry.

Our Vision Statement

We envision Operation Care Ministry as an avenue for combined ministry of healing and evangelism focused on:

a. Reaching the spiritual and physical needs of individuals primarily through preaching the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as an integral part of the Great Commission.

b. Providing quality healthcare to our community through efficient and competent care utilizing needed medical equipments, superior physicians, staff, and volunteers without discrimination.

c. Establishing a permanent medical center that provides quality healthcare that will meet the needs of the community.

Our Guiding Principles

* WE ARE - a team of volunteer doctors, dentists, nurses, and staff of Operation Care Ministry.

* WE EXIST - for we believe OCM is a vehicle for ministry reproduction enlarging the kingdom of God in our community and around the world.

* WHY DO WE DO IT - We believe that Jesus placed emphasis on the importance of serving where service is needed, simple acts of mercy that is freely given and freely received. We believe that these acts of service are a demonstration of God’s love.

* HOW DO WE DO IT - by providing a wide array of free medical and dental services available that includes free medicines and medical consultations for adult and children, dental check-ups and extractions, free reading glasses, as well as Cataract Screening, Blood Sugar Determination, ECG tests, prenatal and various obstetric consultations, Blood Letting activities, and minor surgeries like circumcision and local mass excisions.

The Logo and its Meaning

The logo reflects the mission that Operation Care Ministry is committed to. Beginning at the left, the red circle with a large letter C represents Jesus, being the chief healer, who spent much of his time healing those who suffered from various diseases. “When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them” (Luke 4:40).

The green inverted replica represents man, being embraced by the spirit of the sovereign Lord to preach the good news to the poor. Long before this event in the life of Jesus, Isaiah had prophesied that the ministry of the Messiah would be one not only of teaching but also of comforting and healing those in need. Isaiah wrote: “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair… (Isaiah 61:1-3).

The totality of the logo claims to follow Christ to respond with compassion to the hurt and sick people. As they are being led to Christ, Operation Care Ministry aims to live Him in the lives of the volunteers and with the treatment that is offered, the preaching of the gospel is not hard to grasp. When they see that they are being cared for, their hearts will open for the Gospel. “… Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? …Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; You will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings." Isaiah 58:7-12
