AIM Medical Missions Worker

We’re looking for regular medical people who want to care for families in Jesus’ name.

Vision:
Many village churches and families have very limited access to basic healthcare and health education. Simple medical care, good questions, and kind teaching can make a huge difference. You don’t have to be a specialist with years of overseas experience—if you have a medical background and a willing heart, you can help strengthen churches and bless communities. Along the way, there may be opportunities to explore partnerships with local NGOs or even lay the groundwork for a new NGO focused on holistic community care.

Quick Facts:

• Location: Malaysia (headquartered in Kota Kinabalu but will travel to village settings and the district family camp)
• Timeframe: 3-6 months (with flexibility, longer options possible)
• Focus: Basic medical care, health education, simple clinic work, assessment of local needs
• Ideal Background: Doctors, nurses, medical assistants, paramedics, pharmacists, or other healthcare workers (retired or active)

What You’ll Do:

• Use your medical background to provide basic medical care and health teaching in village settings (within your scope of practice and in cooperation with local leadership)
• Help run a small clinic during the district family camp, seeing camp attendees for simple concerns, triage, and health advice
• Offer health teaching for village churches and Christians—topics like hygiene, nutrition, chronic disease basics, and family health
• Whether you are specialized or general, serve where you’re strongest: consultations, education, systems, or planning
• Look at needs and suggest solutions for village churches and Christian families (e.g., simple first-aid kits, referral pathways, basic health protocols, training for local volunteers)
• Explore potential partnerships with local NGOs working in health, education, or community development, and help identify where churches and NGOs can cooperate
• As doors open and in coordination with leadership, assist in exploring the possibility of starting a new NGO focused on sustainable medical and community outreach (research, simple proposals, basic frameworks)

Impact:
Your presence will help churches care more effectively for their communities (both body and soul). Basic medical care and clear advice build trust, open doors for the gospel, and help pastors shepherd healthier families. Your assessments and suggestions can shape future medical teams, local training, and simple systems that keep serving long after you leave. By exploring NGO partnerships or new NGO pathways, you may also help create long-term structures that support ongoing medical and community work throughout the region.

Is This a Good Fit for You?

• You have some medical training or experience (any level) and are willing to stay within your scope
• You’re okay working with limited resources and making the most of what’s available
• You’re comfortable explaining things in simple, everyday language
• You can be flexible—some days may be busy, other days may be more teaching or listening
• You’re interested in big-picture solutions (systems, partnerships, NGO possibilities) as well as hands-on care
• You want to serve quietly and humbly, partnering with local pastors and leaders
