1. Global Outreach at St. Patrick’s

2. Where Is Our Global Outreach?
Our Global Outreach is Ecumenical
Outreach to Honduras- Working with Linworth Baptist Church and World Gospel Mission
Outreach to Jamaica- Working with The Church of the Nazarene United States and Jamaica
Outreach to Liberia- Working with Partners in Ministry in Liberia (PIML)

3. Why Global Outreach When There is Need in the U.S.?
St. Patrick’s engages in multiple outreach projects locally; Daniel Wright School, Habitat for Humanity, Franklin County, our Youth Missions and more
The Diocese of Southern Ohio supports outreach missions in the United States including a strong Appalachian Mission and a Mission to the Southwest US in Navajoland to name two
We live in a global community and thus we have obligations to our sisters and brothers beyond our shores
We have a scriptural knowledge that God’s wish for us is health and well being

4. How Did Lissa Pick These Three?
These are the ones in which I felt called to participate
The locations of these outreach ministries are places where most outreach groups don’t go
The needs of the population are ones to which I can respond in a productive manner
These ministries are sustainable
There are multifocal areas for the ministry to engage

6. Honduras The location in Honduras is remote yet well populated
Not many outreach missions target this part of Honduras
Choluteca is the site of a sustainable health ministry
There is the reality of an evolving focus for the ministry

7. The Evolution of the Honduras Mission
Began as a way of identifying the health needs of the remote rural population in that part of Honduras
We began to bring Nurse Practitioner Students and Senior undergraduate nursing students to do primary care clinics
This outreach morphed into the development of a school of nursing

8. The School of Nursing First (and only) program of its type in Honduras
Located in the vocational school
Provides the equivalent of an associate degree in nursing and preparation for the bachelor’s degree
Approved by the Ministry of Education

9. How Do We Support This Ministry
Prayerful Support
Lissa continues to write curriculum content that is the translated into Spanish
Monetary support for scholarships for the students - $1400 a year per student, so a portion of this would be wonderful
We have reports from the students whom we supported this year

10. Jamaica Mission Jamaica has a notional health system
The money starts in the capitol and then is distributed among the Parishes
The resort areas are funded most fully
The rural areas get less support
Access to health services is poor in the rural areas

11. Partnering with the Nazarene Church
There is a beautiful facility that was built in Burnt Savannah
The facility has an active optometry unit and a growing dental facility
The Primary Care area is neither finished nor used
The Ministry of Health Facilities are inadequate
