A Lighthouse Medical Mission To The Gambia West Africa

This short documentary was filmed in 2017 but was not fully Edited until 2023. It premiered during a Gala event celebrating the 25 year anniversary of Lighthouse Medical Missions. "You’ve got a short life to live. Why not make it count for something?" Dr. Bob Hamilton and the Lighthouse Medical Missions team as they return to where it all began: The Gambia. This is a boots on the ground look into heir 2017 mission showing the reality of providing healthcare in areas with no electricity or running water. From treating injured fishermen in Tanji to providing pediatric care in Fajikunda, this video captures the "medical fair" atmosphere that helped over 1,500 patients in a single week. The Origins: How a "nudge" from a local pastor in 1998 turned into 24 trips across Africa. The Logistics: The intense process of packing supplies and setting up clinics from the ground up. The Miracles: A powerful story of prayer and a miracle in a maternity ward. The Impact:How medical care is opening doors for the church in Senegal and The Gambia, and building relationships that last a lifetime. A Presidential Meeting: The team meets with President Adama Barrow of The Gambia to discuss the future of healthcare in the region. Lighthouse Medical Missions is more than just a clinic—it’s about being the hands and feet of Jesus and treating every individual with the dignity.
