Lifelong Global Impact

In April of 2023, MedSend celebrated 30 years of ministry in healthcare missions at Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. One of our special guests and featured speakers was Dr. Boaz Niyinyumva, a National Scholar family medicine graduate from Burundi who is doing incredible work transforming the healthcare system in his home country. 

[Healthcare missionaries] are doing a good job, but they cannot do everything by themselves. We can make a lifelong impact…by bringing more locals into the healthcare system,” Dr. Niyinyumva emphasizes. 

He believes innovative solutions like MedSend’s National Scholars program are the key to lasting global impact for those who seek to reach the unreached with quality healthcare and the gospel. Watch his message below: 

It’s through [your] support that today I am who I am, and that I’m able to go back to Burundi to be who I will be to the Burundian people…I am a living testimony that your support to MedSend is not in vain.” 

MedSend’s National Scholars program equips nationals with medical skills and spiritual wisdom, creating a lasting impact in their communities. Be a catalyst for enduring change. Support MedSend and build a healthier, hope-filled world.

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.
