CMDA honors the life and ministry of Dr. Doug Lindberg, who went to be with his Savior on Saturday, August 30 after a battle with cancer. His tireless devotion to both CMDA and the Center for Advancing Healthcare Missions was inspiring, as he equipped healthcare professionals and students to intentionally live their lives fully surrendered to Jesus and His kingdom. Included in his work were the Remedy Medical Missions Conferences, Pre-field Orientation for New Healthcare Missionaries, 5:11 Groups, the Capstone ministry, the Journal Club, the Your Call blog and more. In addition, Doug was key to the development of several domestic missions scholarships at CMDA.

We will miss Doug’s sense of humor, especially his collection of great “dad jokes!” While he is greatly missed, Doug’s work for the kingdom will live on through the missionaries he supported, the students he helped train and the countless lives he touched through his work with the Center for Advancing Healthcare Missions. He truly embraced the vision of bringing the hope and healing of Christ to the world through healthcare, and we were honored to serve alongside him as he passionately fulfilled his mission of introducing others to his Savior, Jesus Christ.
