Over 500 individuals were served by the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ 4th Watch during its village-to-village medical mission conducted throughout Saipan.
Church representative Ronnie Doca said the medical mission is part of the church’s global mission of providing public service to the community through Dalaw Kalinga (Care Visit) Foundation.
“The medical mission is a way to reach out to the community,” Doca told Saipan Tribune.
The church brought its medical missions to Tanapag, Garapan, Gualo Rai, Chalan Kanoa, San Antonio, and Koblerville.
Doca said their most recent medical mission, held at the Kagman Community Center on Aug. 13, was a success.
Mission volunteers provided various services such as height and weight measurement, blood sugar and blood pressure check-ups, vision screening, reflexology, haircut, facial massage, and spiritual counseling.
Doca noted that the Kagman event was the last village-to-village medical mission as they will bring the project back to their church in San Jose on Sept. 25 in celebration of the church’s anniversary.
