When the Rains Come, the Work Doesn’t Stop 

In Sierra Leone, the rainy season makes travel harder, clinics busier, and outreach more complex. Yet this is exactly where MedSend-supported physician Dr. Geoffrey Moses continues to serve, integrating health and discipleship in Sierra Leone in ways that reach both body and soul. 

In a country where maternal mortality remains among the highest in the world and access to healthcare is still limited in rural areas, his work sits at the intersection of urgent medical need and deep spiritual hunger. 

A Spiritual Harvest Through Discipleship 

Six months after implementing his team’s 3-week Discipleship Movement Training course in their area, Geoffrey reports: 

  • 421 people professed faith in Christ 
  • 178 baptisms 
  • 51 house churches studying Scripture 
  • 63 ministry workers mobilized 

These numbers represent lives being discipled by local believers Geoffrey and his team have helped train and support. 

Caring for Communities in Crisis 

At the same time, Geoffrey continues hands-on community work:

  • Clinical care through his clinic 
  • Medical outreach among families displaced by weather and environmental crises 
  • New Community Health Evangelism program efforts 

  • Follow-up with vulnerable groups like disabled children and the Krim people, pictured here 

Sierra Leone still faces high burdens from communicable diseases and maternal health complications, making integrated community-based care essential.

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.
