MedSend is pleased to announce the expansion of its development team with a key new hire: Jeff D. Johnson. Jeff joins MedSend in the role of Vice President, Development-West. 

Jeff brings over 40 years of successful insurance sales industry experience to his MedSend role. He has won multiple industry awards and achieved this success while using servant leadership principles and advocating for the clients he served. During his business career, Jeff created the Defender Training and Mentoring System in response to the urgent need to address the leading cause of failure among advisors and leaders: fear. Jeff has been a passionate advocate for his clients throughout his career and will bring that same passion to the ministry of MedSend. 

Jeff likes to spend his free time with his lovely wife, Julie. He is an avid golfer and pickleball player. He also enjoys traveling and exploring the world, all while serving the Lord through his mission work associated with the Timothy Initiative that plants churches worldwide and through his role with MedSend. 

Morgan Boardman, Chief Development Officer of MedSend said, “I am excited to have Jeff Johnson joining the MedSend development team as God continues to grow the ministry of MedSend. Jeff has a wonderful heart for ministry and his experience in both business and ministry will be blessing as we continue to build awareness of how God is using healthcare missions to share compassionate care and the love and good news of Christ with a world in great need. 

MedSend is a high impact ministry dedicated to empowering Christian healthcare professionals to serve long-term in areas of deep physical and spiritual need. MedSend does this through three programs: MedSend to the World, the National Scholars, and The Longevity Project. 

MedSend to the World provides grants to U.S.-educated healthcare personnel. The National Scholars program provides scholarships to Christian national medical professionals seeking advanced and specialized training in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. MedSend National Scholars are becoming the leaders of mission hospitals and residency programs in their regions. The Longevity Project provides professional, relational, and spiritual support to healthcare missionaries. Over a million people in 97 countries receive care each year in difficult places from MedSend supported healthcare workers.

Flourishing by Design: Imagining Medical Missions for 2040

Our predecessors faithfully built institutions that have served for generations. Our challenge is different. We have inherited those institutions into a world they could scarcely have imagined. Population growth, urbanization, changing disease patterns, financial pressures, conflict, climate shocks, and technological change are reshaping healthcare across low- and middle-income countries.

Drawing on new data about the Christian health ecosystem, strategic consultations with global and African Christian health leaders, and field experience across Africa and Asia, this session explores what it will take for Christian health ministries to flourish by 2040.

Together we’ll imagine what it will take for Christian health ministries to flourish by 2040, strengthening resilient institutions, cultivating exceptional local leadership, and mobilizing a broader range of Christian expertise from medicine and nursing to governance, education, engineering, finance, data science, and technology.

How can Christian health ministries become indispensable partners in building resilient health systems that reflect the compassion and hope of Christ? The legacy of the next generation of medical missions will be measured not only by the number of missionaries sent, but by the resilience, flourishing, and Christ-centered witness of systems they strengthen.
