Download the "Boundaries for
Healthcare Missionaries" eBook:

eBook-Mockup 1

Healthcare missionaries go to the field so they can serve. They see the profound need and know God has blessed them with the ability to meet that need–but the demand for their services often requires more than a person can deliver.  Overwork and burnout are the top two most common preventable reasons doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals leave the mission field and do not return. Managing God-honoring boundaries is an essential spiritual discipline in cross-cultural missions and for anyone looking to safeguard their health, faith, and longevity in personal ministry. Download the Boundaries booklet for biblical, research-based strategies to combat burnout and moral injury, and donate today to support healthcare missionaries on the field.

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.
