MedSend exists to support healthcare missionaries wanting to go and serve on the field in two important ways; relieving the burden of costly student loan payments and providing access to spiritual, relational, and emotional support to extend length of service. We provide funding for local doctors in these developing nations to receive advanced medical training in Christ-focused residency programs, producing highly skilled Family Medicine doctors and Surgeons ready to take on leadership roles in their communities.
For many missionaries in the past, they have had to wait ten or more years to go to the field because of the weight of medical school debt. During that time, they could have been on the field saving lives, sharing the hope of the Gospel, and building long lasting relationships. Current research also indicates that medical missionaries serving in dangerous and low-resource communities are acutely susceptible to burnout, moral injury, and PTSD. MedSend exists to eliminate these barriers and activate healthcare workers to go and serve longer.
The ripple effect that your generosity has cannot be overstated. One grant recipient who is able to go, and stay longer, can be used to impact hundreds of thousands of lives. One National Scholar who receives advanced training to become a holistic physician who cares for the body and the soul can become a leader in their workplace and transform the healthcare system of a nation.
Will you be a barrier remover?
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."
