ABOUT US

Missionaries from three sister organizations (Pioneers, WorldTeam, UFM International /CrossWorld) have combined efforts to partner with the evangelical church in Indonesia   (GIDI - Gereja Injili Di Indonesia).  We began the process of meeting with local GIDI church leaders in Wamena and agreeing to work together to provide adequate and appropriate healthcare.  This team in 2006 consisted of a family practitioner (Kim Dugger MD), a nurse (Jenny Faulkner from New Zealand), and a builder (Paul Faulkner from New Zealand).

Until May 2009, the expatriate staff consisted of one American family practitioner (Kim Dugger MD) and one American registered nurse (Ben Bogle RN). 

Wamena's population fluctuates as schoolchildren from outlying villages come for higher education, young men and women look for city life, and just hang out, while others come from remote areas on a tri-monthly basis when "uang miskin" (poverty money) is handed out by the government.  Best estimates are at 50,000 people.  With only one hospital in town and rotating specialist staff every three to four months, there is a dire need for a second facility.

Together with GIDI's sponsorship, the all Papuan medical staff and expatriate missionaries are providing compassionate Christ-like care for those who come to the doors of Calvary.
