Caring for women through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond opens powerful doors for families to encounter God’s love. The Birth Attendant School equips you both practically and spiritually to serve as a birth attendant in the developing world. You’ll learn hands-on skills for healthy labour, delivery, and early childhood care — all while growing in God’s heart for mothers and babies.
This course is nine months long: three months of lectures in Perth, followed by three months of outreach, then six weeks of lectures in Perth, six weeks of field assignment, and a final week in Perth.
On outreach you and your team will volunteer in busy first-level health centres and villages. You will serve and learn through antenatal care, assisting with deliveries, working with local health care providers, as well as teaching in communities. Trainers work closely with you as you apply the skills that you have learnt during the lecture phases.
Prayer, worship, sharing God’s love, listening to Him and stepping out in obedience are key to all we do. With these essential components, you'll see disease decrease and both physical and spiritual aspects of a community thrive. God encounters women and their families powerfully as we pray, as we serve, and as we share the gospel.
As your training and experience builds, you are equipped to bring health and healing - physically and spiritually - as a birth-attendant in medical missions.
Topics include:
-Anatomy and physiology
-Antenatal
-Labour
-Newborn and postnatal care
-Complications in pregnancy and birth
-Spiritual dynamics to birth
