Saving Lives - Medical Missionary

“It’s mid afternoon and it’s hot, sweat’s dripping from our faces and I’m glad I’m here listening to this brother pour his heart out. He’s a strong man, a workingman, a Haitian man. He’s being interviewed and sharing about how his wife lost a leg and needs serious medical care a.s.a.p. How his 3-year-old daughter, his little girl died in the earthquake when the building fell on her, tears flow down his cheeks as he shares about his baby whom he just lost. His heart is broken and he really just needs to let it all out; He needs a hug and a shoulder to cry on. And I’m here, and I’m grateful that I’m here to be that shoulder and that ear.”

Hi guys & gals,

   I’m Mike Antonucci –

            I‘ve been an EMT/Army Medic since I was 18 years old I've volunteered in Haiti post earthquake and a year later for cholera treatment in the mountains. I've assisted with disaster relief in Japan, helping coordinate radiation measurements data and surveying tsunami-destroyed coastlines along affected areas.

            I've done medical missions in the Philippines and labored in medical clinics in Mindoro working alongside doctors treating patients and delivering babies in hospitals and in small villages. I volunteered with Samaritans Purse post Hurricane Sandy gutting houses on the Jersey Shore, and I volunteer as a Medic at Burning Man in the most amazing environment anyone can ever imagine since 2010. I feel called to heal people and I’m good at it so for the next step to further my life path wherever there’s need and God could use me I’m willing to go.

            For 11 years I've been praying about going to YWAM (Youth with a Mission), I even moved to Hawaii in 2007 to follow that path, but my mom got sick with cancer and I headed home to be with her for the next 5 months of her life. Now after years of waiting I finally have the confirmation I've been waiting for.

We’ll go to Calcutta, India for the first three weeks of our outreach medical missions. We’ll get intensive training on how to set up and run clinics in un-established settings taught by Medical Mission Specialists with years of experience.
