Last December we introduced you to Baby Rosita and grant recipient Amie Bockstahler, RN, serving in Guatemala. Baby Rosita was born with a cleft lip and palate and was not able to eat and gain weight when Amie met her and her family.

Amie recently reached out to MedSend with an important update on Baby Rosita, who just turned one year old: 

“It’s so exciting to let you know that Rosita has had her first surgery to repair her cleft lip! She is doing great, and it’s been wonderful to see her grow and develop! Once she is a little bit older, her cleft palate will also be repaired,” Amie shares.  

Amie continues to be a source of light and hope in Guatemala City. She is committed to improving the quality of life of the community through improved physical health and through the comfort and encouragement of faith she brings to everyone she meets.  

Join us in our mission to bring compassionate care and the love of Jesus to under-served and under-reached communities. With your help healthcare missionaries like Amie can continue to save lives and bring hope.

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.
