WELCOME TO

MEMO Ministries

MEMO is a ministry of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada “Serve Beyond”. MEMO’s purpose has been to show the love of God  through the provision of redundant hospital equipment and supplies to needy health care facilities. Since 2004, MEMO has shipped over 100 containers to Cuba, El Salvador, Liberia, Nicaragua, Uganda and Zimbabwe, totaling millions of dollars in equipment and saving countless lives along the way.

MEMO is currently (2024) sending supplies to Zimbabwe to support the Zimbabwe Gecko Society who support nationals caring for 3000 AIDS orphans, six hospitals and six clinics. We have also furnished a 60 bed surgical suite addition to the Yotkom Hospital in Kitgum, Uganda.

MEMO is pleased to state that there is no paid staff and is completely run by volunteers so that every dollar donated goes entirely to support the work.

LATEST UPDATE

Container #108 Blessing for Cuba

Hello MEMO supporters:

In the wake of Thanksgiving we have much to be thankful for. 
What a successful day it was packing the latest container.
We are thankful that the rain didn’t last long.

  • thankful for a really great crew of helpers;
  • thankful that the packers did a superb job getting 1955 items into the container;
  • thankful for those who hauled boxes, moved equipment, loaded beds, called numbers, recorded numbers, and labelled items as necessary.
  • thankful for those who chipped in for whatever hours they had; as always when someone had to leave there were others able to stay on.
  • thankful for those who retrieved boxes and bags from our little warehouse;
  • thankful for the crew that retrieved mattresses previously stored at Grace Church, and to Gerry Erb for bringing one of the Erb trucks;
  • thankful to Grace Church for allowing us to store mattresses there.
  • thankful for all those who gave selflessly of their time this Saturday.
  • thankful for God’s hand over all; no injuries, safety on the highway for our driver, Brad.

We finished in 7 hours which is an excellent showing.

The container is now travelling by rail to Halifax. It should be placed on the MV Orinoco ready to set sail for Cuba October 30.

Pray that all details will fall into place and the ship will leave on time.
The neat thing about shipping to Cuba is the short time, five days, for a container to get to the port of Mariel. We pray the sailing is uneventful, arriving in time for early Christmas treat in November for the Cuban church community and medical support for hospitals and clinics.

With gratitude,
Tom Baxter
MEMO Operations Manager
