Our Story
Is a small part of God's Story...
in 1995 two doctors and three helpers from Jacksonville Chapel visited Robins Bay, Jamaica to provide a free medical clinic.
The following year, Team Healthcare was incorporated as a 501c3 and began recruiting medical teams to run free clinics once per year.
Since then, we have expanded to provide not only medical care but also vacation Bible schools and construction to Jamaica, Honduras, Peru, Brazil, Rwanda, Kenya, the Philippines and Mali.

Dr. Jim Froehlich
Vice Chairman
My late father considered a career in missions, but instead was led by the Lord to pastor Presbyterian churches which devoted a large percentage of time and resources to support missions. I grew up knowing, praying for and financially supporting missionaries, many of whom were close personal friends. I serve on the missions committee at my home church which gives over 50% of its receipts to the 14 missionaries that we support. I've served as chairman of another missions board of directors. The Lord led my wife and me to a Bible Study taught by Dr. Dan Kim, where we were blessed by his Biblical insights and teaching gift. We prayed with Dan and Julie about the Lord's plan for their desire to serve Him in medical missions. God's direction was crystal clear as He led them to serve overseas in West Africa. I am eternally blessed to work on the "supply" side of Dan and Julie's ministry to the poorest of the poor spiritually and materially.
Lisa Herring
Secretary
My husband, John, and I first met Dr. Dan Kim and his wife, Julie, through a Bible Study in Atlanta, Georgia. As we gathered each week to study God's Word, our friendship naturally deepened. When they left Georgia to pursue a life in medical missions with the Women's and Children's Hospital in Koutiala, West Africa we were eager to identify ways we could support their efforts. They invited us to Koutiala to gain insights into the hospital's desperate need for medical supplies and helped us identify ways that we could help fulfill those needs through the abundance of supplies available in the Georgia hospitals where Dr Kim had previously worked. Over the years our involvement has changed but our desire to be a part of what God is doing through Dr Kim and Julie in Koutiala has stayed constant. Their dedication to bringing both medical care and the hope of the Gospel to those living in Koutiala glorifies our Lord and is obedient to His command to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. It brings me immense joy to be a part of that calling.
