In recent years, the Music Department at Spicer Adventist University, India, has seen an increase in enrollment of those wanting to learn how to play the piano or keyboard. Hence, there was an urgent need of keyboards and pianos. WMI funded the purchase of eight keyboards and a digital piano.
WMI donated two LCD projectors to Roorkee Adventist College (RAC), India. The projectors have been installed in the RAC auditorium/church. This gift was made possible by a RAC well-wisher through WMI
The Mission Hospital in Thailand is pleased to report the completion of their ER renovation project in May 2024.

We would like to thank you for your generosity in helping us towards furthering God's work in Thailand." Here are pictures of the renovated Emergency Room. This project was made possible by the generosity of donors through WMI
Recommended by AIIAS because of her academic excellence, Naomi Booia, is returning to AIIAS to take her Ph.D. She took her Masters in Religion degree at AIIAS previously, and then returned to her tiny Pacific Island country of Kiribati (Pronounced “KEE-ruh-bas”). She was then hired to teach at Fulton (Adventist) College in Fiji. The leaders of the union were thrilled for her to return to AIIAS to take her PhD. Fulton College has voted to hire her as a professor of Theology once she completed her PhD. This is a wonderful opportunity to sponsor this talented student with high potential for the future. Please help with the US$7,000 needed to cover tuition and family living expenses for Naomi Booia’s 2nd year. Where else in the world can you get a quality Ph.D. program and living expenses for this price?
A WMI donor contributed $3,000 to Mt. Olives Healthcare Center in the hill station of Yelagiri, India. It will help in the construction of a community hall for outreach activities.
A clinic located far from the area where any dental care is available was urgently needed. WMI provided $2,500 to support this project.
WMI donors provided support for Dr. Mike Boyko and his team in their travel to the rural communities in Kenya to conduct dental clinics and provide other services.
In August, 2023, twenty students and staff representing the “Students for International Mission Service” (SIMS) from Loma Linda University Health (LLUH) and 20 nursing students and healthcare providers from Penang Adventist Hospital (PAH), Malaysia partnered to serve at the Shimla Sanitarium. They provided free health screening to over 1,000 visitors in the public square, to the Police Officers of the State of Himachal Pradesh, and at the Rajiv Gandhi Community College in Shimla. The service was greatly appreciated by the local leaders and community. WMI made an initial contribution of $20,000 to ADRA India to coordinate the campaign. The students from LLUH and PAH contributed towards the trip, while SIMS-LLUH were the major sponsors for 2023 SEVA India. (Students in Educational and Volunteer Activities.)
WMI contributed $10,000 to conduct the 2024 Pan-African Dental Conference in Africa by the Health Ministries Department of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
The University of Montemorelos School of Dentistry sends its dentists and dental students to rural Mexican towns to provide much-needed service to thousands of patients who cannot afford dental care. WMI assisted with $5,000 to purchase dental equipment for this purpose.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people died for want of oxygen! WMI initiated an effort and provided the foundation for an Oxygen Generation Plant at the Pune Adventist Hospital (PAH) in India. The machine was then provided by the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) India. It has the capacity to generate approximately 390 liters of Oxygen per minute. We thank the well-wishers of PAH for saving lives through this gift.
The Ellen G. White Farm House in Gunupur, Rayagad District of Odisha was developed from a 10-acre wasteland with a dream of becoming economically self-reliant. Their objectives are to develop an agricultural program and cottage industries, and to support the youth in obtaining a Christian education. This rural community needed a borewell to expand their agricultural activities. WMI provided the needed funds to drill this well. Thank you for the water you have provided for this community.
Three times in ten months between 2019 and 2020, South India suffered some of the worst cyclones in recent years. It left almost nothing in the coastal area of about 200 square miles. Many houses were damaged, trees were uprooted, the storm surges of water destroyed the fish farms. The saline water destroyed most of the paddy fields and other crops. Then COVID-19 lockdown further devastated the lives of the local people. Even after three years, their most urgent needs are food, repairing damaged homes, healthcare to prevent epidemics, and restoring their livelihood. Your help will make a huge difference.
WMI donor funds were provided to purchase and install a color printing unit in the gastroscopy department of Scheer Memorial Adventist Hospital, Nepal to improve the quality of the gastroscopic reports . Many thanks to you for reaching out to meet these needs.
Every year, Dr. Mike Boyko and his team travel to the rural communities in Kenya to conduct dental clinics and provide other services. In the summer of 2022, they constructed a water system for the widows at the Rona Foundation in Bondo, Kenya. The system purifies water out of Lake Victoria. They also conducted Dental Clinics along with Africa Mission Services, Masai Mara, Kenya and the Aho Family. Thank you for investing your time and funds in meeting these needs.
Loma Linda University School of Allied Health Professions offers an A.S. Degree in the Department of Physical Therapy. Students come from a wide variety of background and experiences meaning that this is, many times, the first professional degree achieved in their entire family. It is truly a life changing experience and means a steady income while providing much needed and greatly appreciated healthcare. This fund will assist these students when unexpected and urgent family financial needs threaten the opportunity to continue their education. A sum of $50,000 was raised for this very worthy cause. Imagine the joy of providing a future for these worthy students! Thank you for your loving support for these talented students.
COVID-19 left many impoverished in the rural areas of Nepal. People needed food and other basic necessities urgently. A caring donor provided funds to provide food supplies for 23 families in a rural, underserved community in Nepal. Thank you for the blessing to these families.
WMI is supporting an urgently needed academy building with special focus on the music classroom at the Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies (AIIAS pronounced “I” “S”.) AIIAS Academy has an excellent music program and the children grow up loving to perform. AIIAS is an international graduate school with students from all over the world.
School leaders carefully envisioned and projected the needs of musical groups such as choirs, string ensembles, keyboard classes, guitars and Filipino stringed instruments. The cost of construction in the Philippines is amazingly reasonable. The 23’ x 39’ music room will only cost US$30,000 for the room construction.
With a little more support, a piano and equipment storage and other music resources can be included. World Medics has already contributed some amount toward the project and we need another $10,000 to make this Music Room a wonderful reality.
WMI believes this is a great project in which you may like to invest.
The graduates of this program work with Physical Therapists in multiple treatment facilities ranging from private practice, care homes, retirement centers, to university health. One of the most rewarding areas of education at Loma Linda University is the Physical Therapist Assistant Program located in the School of Allied Health Professions. This program started in the late 1980s and has a class size of about 45 students each year. This is a 15-month program leading to an AS degree following one year of lower division college including prerequisites.
The graduates of this program work with Physical Therapists in multiple treatment facilities ranging from private practice, care homes, retirement centers, to university care settings. Many of these graduates are the first from their family to ever attend a university let alone receive education that qualifies them to assist in the treatment of various degrees of physical impairment. The learning curve is huge and the help to achieve success in this field requires hours of one-on-one teaching.
Carol Appleton has recently retired from 22 years of teaching and assisting these wonderful students coming from very diverse ethnic, religious and social backgrounds. She has requested that we help set up a fund at Loma Linda University to assist with cost of education and other needs of this financially-strapped group of students. Loma Linda University has agreed to start this fund once we have achieved $50,000.00.
World Medics Inc., has accrued about $30,000.00 (as of November 25, 2020) and invites donations to this very worthy cause.
World Medics, Inc., is pleased to sponsor Ms. Falesi Kaonga, an accountant in Malamulo Adventist Hospital in Malawi, to complete her Associate of Chartered Certified Accountants Certification (British equivalent to US CPA). After completing her coursework, she had registered to take the examinations earlier this year, but due to COVID-19 they were postponed. The examination has been postponed twice already. She is hoping to complete the course in September. Please remember Ms. Kaonga in your prayers.
In 2019, Ms. Kaonga graduated with a Master’s degree in Accounting from a local University in Malawi. She worked for the Seventh-day Adventist Conference in Blantyre, Malawi until her transfer to Malamulo Hospital in 2019. She is regarded as a very dedicated Adventist employee and WMI wishes her a successful and blessed career.
World Medics, Inc., has supported the mission work at Yerba Buena in Southern Mexico for many years. Most recently they helped pay for the new roof of the church that was completed just a couple months ago.
For over sixty years Yerba Buena has been sharing the Gospel and Love of Jesus to their community and beyond. In current times the clinic has a life style program, which is having successful health results. Political events have made many changes. Their board decided that donations will support the lay-workers. The lay-workers are fully dedicated and desire to share Biblical truths in all surrounding villages. Antonio Diaz was leader of the lay-workers in the area. He lived 88 years, a long-life sharing God's gospel and Love. The Bible stories have been shared in the cities but the outlying villages who do not speak Spanish now have Bibles in their own languages. Some more distant villages did not have any written alphabet until Antonio developed one they could learn to read.
There are still many, many villages with whom to share the Bible teaching and the story of Jesus and what He did for us. Soon there will be no more virus, tears nor death. Jesus is coming soon. We will see Antonio again and all his Mexican friends at the Pearly gates and meet Jesus face to face. Maranatha!
The Bihinga Seventh-day Adventist Church in Rwanda has been a place of worship for the local community for over 60 years. The leaky roofs and dirt flooring rendered it unusable, especially when it rained quite frequently. This church building which houses about 230 church members was in need of urgent repairs. After much prayer, faith, and discussion, the members decided to build a new church to replace the old one. The local church members went to work providing lumber and labor. They also gave of their low income from their gardens. They contacted former members and their families, and others who had worked in that region previously. After nearly three years of hard labor, they are almost close to finishing the project. So far, they have spent about $55,000.
World Medics, Inc., contributed $5,000 towards this project. However, Bihinga needs another $6,000 to complete the flooring and provide the finishing touches. Please consider donating to World Medics, Inc. to help complete the Bihinga church building.
