Medical Benevolence Foundation - A Christmas Miracle for Joy and Angel 🎄

Christmas has a way of meeting us in our most tender moments, when hope feels fragile, and the weight of responsibility feels unbearable. For Joy, a mother in Kenya, that weight came all at once. She was already caring for a child with cerebral palsy when her younger daughter, Angel, became critically ill. With no one else to turn to, Joy ran to Chogoria Hospital carrying fear, faith, and love in equal measure.

Angel was rushed to intensive care. Joy prayed through long nights, unsure if her child would survive. When Angel finally began to heal, relief quickly gave way to another shock -- a hospital bill equaled what many families earn in an entire year. The kind of number that makes your heart sink. The overwhelm we all recognize.

That is where compassion met Joy. Through MBF’s partners at Chogoria Hospital, and  because of donors like you, the impossible became possible. Angel received the care she needed, and Joy and she carried her daughter home, no longer bound by fear but held by gratitude.

This Christmas, Joy celebrates more than a healed child. She celebrates kindness that crossed oceans, lifted an impossible burden, and reminded her she was not alone. We simply want to say thank you for your Spirit-led generosity, for your faithful prayers, and for walking alongside MBF as we share physical healing and the Gospel of Jesus with the world.

With grateful hearts,

- The MBF Team

We have a YouTube Channel
Over the past year, we have compiled a library of authors, CEOs, pastors and doctors who have a unique medical mission perspective through their education and experience. We recently created an MBF YouTube channel where we share thoughts from authors like Bob Lupton and Peter Greer about their perspectives on how missions are changing as we move into the 21st century. We have interviewed mission leaders, including Dr. Mike Chupp, CMDA, Ted Esler, Missio Nexus, and Dr. John Crouch, In His Image about their views on medical ministry challenges. It can all be found here for your viewing and shared with your churches and committees as the library expands.

Medical Missions Live - March 2 | MBF

The Future of Training Medical Professionals
7:00 PM Central  |  Tuesday, March 2
David C.Thompson
MD, FACS, FWACS
Dear Ministry Partner, 

On Tuesday, March 2nd we have the opportunity to talk about how the landscape is changing for training medical professionals wanting to serve in lower-resourced countries. Our guest is a very well-known surgeon and international leader, Dr. David Thompson.
 
Dr. Thompson is regarded as the key pioneer in establishing surgical residencies in Africa whose personal experience spans numerous countries in different settings throughout the world. Born in the U.S, he grew up in Cambodia where his parents worked for 16 years. When he was 14, he and his father tried unsuccessfully to save a Cambodian man who was seriously injured when a truck and a bus collided. God used the incident to plant a desire in David's young heart to become a doctor and help people who had limited healthcare access. David graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 1973 with an M.D. and eventually completed five years of residency in general surgery in Southern California. In 1977 he and his wife Rebecca moved to Gabon, Africa and for the next 34 years built a 150-bed full-service hospital to provide medical services to Gabon's least served provinces.
 
In 1996, Dr. Thompson helped establish the Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS), an organization that trains African surgeons at Christian hospitals throughout the continent and oversees teaching programs in 8 countries with 105 residents in training. Since 2014, Dr. Thompson has been working as a volunteer to train Egyptian surgeons at Harpur Memorial Hospital.
 
This is a discussion you do not want to miss. Join us on Tuesday night, March 2, 2021, at 8 pm eastern / 7 pm central.

Please have your questions ready for us. We look forward to you connecting with us live via Zoom or on Facebook Live on Tuesday, 3/2/2021 at 5 pm PDT/7 pm CDT/8 pm EDT. If you choose to view with Zoom you will need to pay attention to both the login and the passcode included for you below.

Medical Missions Live - Feb. 16 | MBF

The Future of Mission and Medical Workers
7:00 PM Central  |  Tuesday, February 16
Rick Allen
President and CEO of MedSend
Dear Ministry Partner, 

Medical Missions are changing rapidly and 2020 only served to accelerate the rate of change. For all of us the challenge is identifying what the church needs in order to enable it to keep medical service as a platform to serving the poor and proclaiming the Gospel. 
 
On Tuesday February 16th  we have the opportunity to talk about how the landscape is changing for medical professionals wanting to serve in lower-resourced countries. Our guest will be Rick Allen, President and CEO of MedSend.  
 
MedSend exists to serve medical professionals. Founded in 1992, MedSend takes over the burden of student loan indebtedness which then enables young doctors and nurses to serve in healthcare missions. MedSend has enabled and empowered more than 650 healthcare professionals to minister in areas of deep physical and spiritual need. Recipients of MedSend grants staff and run hospitals and clinics, usually involving the training and mentoring of Christian nationals into professional roles serving their own people.

This is a discussion you do not want to miss. Join us on Tuesday night, February 16, 2021, at 8 pm eastern / 7 pm central.

What's the future hold for medical missions?

The Future of Mission Worldwide
7:00 PM Central  |  Tuesday, February 2
Ted Esler. Ph.D.
President, Missio Nexus
Dear Ministry Partner, 

Missions within the church in North America has been changing rapidly and 2020 only served to increase the rate of change. But what mission will look like and what mission will be forced to look like are topics of passionate discussion. 
 
On Medical Missions Live over the past 10 months we have been privileged to speak with very well-known authors including Bob Lupton who wrote Toxic Charity and Charity Detox and Peter Greer whose best-selling books include Mission Drift and Rooting for Rivals about their perspectives on how missions are changing as we move into the 21st century.
 
On Tuesday February 2nd we have the opportunity to talk with another international leader about how church ministries, denominations and mission agencies are changing and what is going to be the future for anyone interested in sharing the Gospel. We are very honored to have Ted Esler, Ph.D., President of Missio Nexus join us. Missio Nexus is the largest association of Great Commission churches and organizations in North America. This is an organization representing over 30,000 evangelical missionaries deployed around the world and including more than 200 agencies and churches. 
 
Ted was a church planter in Sarajevo Bosnia during the 90’s, and in 2000, became the Canadian director of Pioneers and then was asked to join the leadership team of Pioneers USA. In 2015 he was appointed the President of Missio Nexus. Not only does he have extensive personal experience and expertise, he is in daily contact with the directors of most of the major mission agencies, church mission leaders and individuals serving on the ground around the world. 

This is a discussion you do not want to miss. Join us on Tuesday night, February 2, 2021, at 8 pm eastern / 7 pm central.

Its a New Year for Medical Missions Live | MBF


Critical Need for Critical Care
 
7:00 PM Central  |  Tuesday, January 5
Dr. Beth Stuebing Adams, M.D.
Greg Seager RN
Founder Christian Health Service Corps
Dear Ministry Partner, 
 
Medical care in developing countries is changing radically over the next 10 years. For lower-resourced countries like Malawi, there is no existing infrastructure to handle a huge wave of chronic health care issues such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, trauma, orthopedics, etc. As the population begins to live longer and become more urban, there is a skyrocketing need for advanced surgery, trauma care and medical care. It truly is the critical need for critical care.
 
Tuesday, January 5th, we are honored to talk with two highly regarded international medical leaders. They both know the urgent needs of providing international quality medical care and serving the poor in places with little or no access to care. They will share with us both the enormous needs that countries like Malawi face and the solutions that we can all be a part of creating. 

This is a discussion you do not want to miss. Join us on Tuesday night, January 5th, at 8 pm Eastern / 7 pm Central / 5 pm Pacific. Please have your questions ready for us. We look forward to you connecting with us live via Zoom or on Facebook LiveIf you choose to view with Zoom you will need to pay attention to both the login and the passcode provided for you at the end of this email.
Meet our guests:

Dr. Beth Stuebing Adams 
is Board Certified in both General Surgery as well as Surgical Critical Care. She is also an Advanced Trauma Life Support course instructor. She completed her General Surgery at Rhode Island Hospital and Alpert Medical School of Brown University. She then completed a Trauma Surgery and Surgical Critical Care Fellowship at Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami. From 2013 until 2016, she was Trauma Medical Director at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, WA.
 
Importantly, Dr. Stuebing, along with her husband and three young children, will be relocating to Lilongwe, Malawi, in Africa this coming July to become part of the new Surgical Residency teaching faculty at Nkhoma Hospital. Dr. Stuebing will also be leading a countrywide initiative to upgrade critical care medicine in all hospitals.
 
Greg Seager RN is the Founder and Director of Christian Health Service Corps. CHSC is a sending ministry of Christian doctors, health professionals and health educators serving the poor in places with little or no access to care. Each year, CHSC missionaries bring compassionate, lifesaving medical services to hundreds of thousands of patients in countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Blessings,
