Training & service
The first medical missionary training school in Central Asia
Every year since 2017 we've trained the next generation of health missionaries. Now we're building them a home: a campus of their own, so we can finally say yes to the students we've had to turn away.
Active campaign
What this addresses
Across Central Asia's villages, whole communities are hours from the nearest doctor — and even further from anyone who will speak to them of God. The illnesses that fill those clinics are exactly the ones simple lifestyle change can ease.
We've simply run out of room. Every session we have to turn away hopeful students for lack of space to house them. This expansion means we can finally say yes to more of them — and send them out.
What we teach
Each cohort lives and studies at the center, working through the LIGHT medical missionary curriculum — the same course used across our sending network. It's run like a working apprenticeship: students rotate through every department — the kitchen, the treatment rooms, the fields — actually doing the work themselves before their final weeks running a real program under supervision.
It's practical, not academic. Graduates leave able to start something real where they live: a health work, a walking group, a table people will actually come to.
Plant-based cooking
How to feed a family, or a village group, well and cheaply.
Simple treatments
Hydrotherapy, herbal basics, and safe home remedies that actually help.
Running a health work
How to start and lead a program that draws a community in.
Care for the whole person
Listening, prayer, and knowing when to point someone to a doctor.
Help us build the school
Construction is underway. Our goal is to open the doors of this training school in 2027 — and we can't get there without you. Specific pieces a partner can stand behind:
We don't have a final construction budget to publish yet — write to us and we'll walk you through the building plan and what's needed most right now.

Two ways to help
Give through OCI, or talk to us first
Pearl Health Center doesn't take payments on this website. Gifts are handled by Outpost Centers International — the ministry we serve under — so your donation is receipted properly and reaches us in full.
Give now
Outpost Centers International is a US-registered 501(c)(3) that supports self-supporting Adventist ministries worldwide, including ours. The link opens OCI's own secure donation page, already set to Pearl Health Center — nothing on this site handles your card.

Giving to a different project? This link is set up for the training school. The Country Life café and store, the farm, and the media work are funded separately — write to us and we'll point your gift to the right place.
Rather talk first?
Plenty of partners want to understand the work before they give — where the money goes, what's already built, what we still can't afford. Write to us and someone from the ministry will answer personally. There's no pressure and no follow-up you didn't ask for.
