Predisan’s desire is to see spiritual growth and life change in our staff, volunteers and the communities and individuals we serve. Our goal is to see the next generation walking in a relationship with God, not just knowing about God. We strive to proclaim the kingdom as examples and voices of Christ in all we say and do as an organization.

The Chaplains’ Benevolence Program
Patients at the Predisan clinics pay a small fee for health care. This affirms personal dignity and gives worth to the services. For the very poor who desperately need help, benevolent donors help Predisan fully subsidize their care. The Benevolence Program is coordinated by Predisan’s chaplains and facilitated by leaders at local churches, who are provided vouchers to give to sick or needy persons they know, or encounter, through their work.
In 2012, 9,840 patients received subsidized services at a cost of $269,301, of this amount $251,431 comes from the contract with the Ministry of Health and $17,869 comes from the Predisan Benevolence Program.
