We Help Them Go and Help Them Stay

Caitlin Lawrence

MedSend has helped medical missionaries go to the field for over 30 years —and now we help keep them there by providing grants to access the spiritual, professional and relational support they need to thrive on the field.  

 

“It’s hard to find the words to adequately express what my MedSend grant has meant to me. I don’t know that I would even be here serving without my MedSend grant. It provided a way for me when I felt completely overwhelmed as to how I could possibly serve with my loans. And it has blessed me in more ways than just removing the obstacle of my loan prior to coming. There are so many things that constantly occupy my mind related to patient care, leadership, relationships with nationals, navigating cultural differences, communicating with supporters, mission requirements, etc., but my loan and making those payments is not something that crosses my mind. That burden has been completely lifted and provides me the ability to focus on serving and loving the people of Bolivia without the distraction of how I will continue to make those payments. I have also received great support from MedSend spiritually, mentally and emotionally. I am also a participant in the Longevity Project. When I heard about the project, and as I see the incredible benefits it offers, it is mind-blowing to me that I have these things available to me. MedSend has loved me well, means the world to me and I can’t possibly thank those enough who have contributed to my grant.” – Caitlin Lawrence, RN, serving in Bolivia

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.
