Southeastchristianlouisville

If you’re planning to serve in medium to long-term healthcare missions and have a target departure date within the next five years, then this conference is for you! Join fellow outgoing healthcare missionaries and veteran missionary faculty for four incredible days of preparation for the field. Medical training and sending organizations do a fantastic job in most areas of equipping you for healthcare missions work, but preparing well to step into life as a healthcare missionary presents unique challenges and opportunities. This gathering will provide you with invaluable tools, knowledge, and relationships that will help you to thrive during your transition to life on the mission field! Sign up by 10/4/24 to be eligible for free lodging if attending both Pre-Field and GMHC!

Healthcare professional: $150

Spouse (discount applies even if husband and wife are both in healthcare): $100
