Project Compassion
We are privileged to be able to link up with Project Compassion for special projects, especially medical missions. Project Compassion is a Christ centered organization whose primary purpose is to share God's love by ministering to the physical and spiritual of all people through outreaches. Project Compassion operates by responding to the invitation of those working in developing nations directly with the people that are most in need of our services. Through a network of dedicated individuals, we are able to go directly to the point of need and provide a proven and valuable service.
John Eastham, a local pharmacist, married with three children, graciously serves as our Project Compassion Maranatha Representative. He can be contacted at: john_eastham@yahoo or 760-580-0049.

Recent and Upcoming Projects:
Tsunami Medical Relief Team
While we have several things planned in advance on the calendar (below), we are ready to move quickly when an emergency arises, such as the recent tsunami devastation. In January of 2005 Project Compassion quickly put together a team of 61 volunteers, including eight from Maranatha Chapel. The team traveled to two coastal villages in India, Ullapalem and Pakala where they conducted three 16 hour clinic days, treating some 3000 people, mostly fishermen who lost family members and their homes.
February 10 to 17
Southern Mexico
We will be going with a small team of about a dozen to work once again with Dr. Al Zamacona – founder of our “Project Compassion Oaxaca”. We will be going to the villages in Huatulco with Al and the medical team from Oaxaca to reach these people.
March 17 to 24
Belize
We will be going to the area in the South-Eastern part of the country near Punta Gordo in the Jungle. We have worked with this missionary before, and saw a real need in the area. They have a nice compound for us to stay in, and the last trip was rewarding for all.
On the return, we will stay a few days in Ambergris Cayes, and enjoy the snorkeling, diving, and beautiful beaches!
Donation Requirement: $3,400
July 28 to August 12
Uganda
Pastor Martin has been working in Uganda for a number of years, and has a thriving successful University well known throughout this area of Africa for its quality of education. We will work with him caring for the students, and conduct outreaches into the surrounding villages.
There will be an option to add days at an additional cost to go to the Masai Mara in Kenya for safari.
Donation Requirement: $3,600
October 13 to 23
Cambodia – Thailand Border
Rose Martinez has been a missionary in Thailand for a number of years, and we worked with her in the Golden Triangle in Northern Thailand a few years ago. She has orphanages, and has now started one in Cambodia on the border of Thailand. We are blessed to work with her again, and help this ministry reach out to the community.
We will do some sightseeing at the end of the trip.
Donation Requirement: $3,300
We will plan a couple of days to enjoy the area on the way back.
Donation Requirement: $2,300
