The Longevity Project

Don’t let them burn out.

The experience of healthcare missionaries is uniquely difficult.  Delivering patient care in settings of dire need and limited resource cause many to struggle emotionally and spiritually on the field.

Partnering in Their Mission’s Success

At MedSend we've seen these struggles up close for over 30 years.  In response, we've designed a multi-faceted initiative to provide professional, relational, and spiritual support to healthcare missionaries. The Longevity Project not only supports the welfare of the missionary family but also works to ensure they can continue in their service on the mission field, saving lives and introducing their patients to Jesus.

A caring community, a simple process.

The Longevity Project is an innovative way of caring for missionaries designed to provide an opportunity for self-directed care. Our design incorporates diverse programs that can be tailored to fit individual needs. It provides annual grant support that is heavily subsidized by donor contributions. The healthcare missionaries themselves decide which programs best fit their needs and spend their grant on those programs only.

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.
