First Fruits and Capstone

The healthcare mission field stands at an important crossroads. Around the world, opportunities abound for fruitful ministry through healthcare missions. Healthcare professionals are desperately needed, and they can serve in places non-medical missionaries can’t serve. All too often, needs and opportunities go unmet. The doors will not remain open forever. As health systems around the world modernize, healthcare missions and missionaries become less necessary in the eyes of the host community, and the missionary’s witness and scope of influence are curtailed significantly.

Your Call Newsletter

One of the goals of the Center for Medical Missions® is to increase the number of medical missionaries serving in the field. As we meet medical and dental students we are constantly amazed at the number who report having received a “call” to full time missionary service. It surprises us then, when we talk to mission executives to learn how few are actually applying to serve. Your Call has been created to encourage and keep those with a “call” focused on that “call.” It shares advice from Dr. David Stevens, information about working in creative access countries, stories from the field, etc. If you are one of those people with a “call” and would like to receive the quarterly e-newsletter, Your Call, please click on the links below. Also, be sure to read archived issues of Your Call.
