Medical Missionary Bag – Emergency Car Kit

“…Meet any EMERGENCY which may arise…” {5T 724.2} (9T 221.3)

“…The ability…to deal with ACCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES, to treat disease…these make all the difference between success and failure in his lifework.”  {Ed 221.1}

“ Your question is, . . . “IN URGENT CASES, should we call in a worldly physician, because the sanitarium doctors are all so busy that they have no time to devote to outside practice?"...If the physicians are so busy that they cannot treat the sick outside of the institution, would it not be wiser for all to educate themselves in the use of simple remedies, than to venture to use drugs…all should understand what to do…everyone should have an intelligent knowledge...” {2SM 289.4}

“…If from any cause disease does come, or accidents occur…know how to meet ordinary emergencies without calling upon a physician, and taking his poisonous drugs.”  {FE 426.3}

QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE CONTENTS OF A MEDICAL MISSIONARY KIT TO CARRY IN YOUR CAR?

Note: It took 6-7 months for me to put my own kit together. It does require some financial investment! Part of the funding came from my own resources, and part came from some funds I had set aside for offerings, as this IS the Lord’s work! This was offering money that was separate from tithe money.)

THE SMALL MAKE-UP/COSMETIC BAG –  Keep this on hand at all times when I’m local. In this I have:

Eucalyptus Oil, Peppermint Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Charcoal Capsules, Cayenne Pepper Tincture, Mullein Tincture, Lobelia Tincture, Nettle capsules, Astragalus Capsules.  

1. THE BAG  – Can purchase at Walmart in the camping section; Coleman brand purple lunch bag; approximately 12”-13” high x 12” wide x 10” deep. (Note: I found an almost identical bag with an additional large zippered pocket on the front, insulated, for $2 at my local Goodwill. I have seen other bags there that would work as well. If we pray and ask, God can and will provide all that we need to do His work!) You may also use a large tackle box as I had recently seen in an email someone sent me.
