Caring for the needs of people is integral to the missionary tasks of evangelism, discipling new believers, training leaders and forming healthy churches. Healthcare missions gives access to the unreached, allows for intimate conversations, meets needs, makes disciples and empowers the church.

U.S.
Sep 27, 2021
The Global Missions Health Conference in Louisville November 11-13 will be the largest medical missions conference ever held. Thousands of healthcare professionals, students and missionaries will attend (to register, go to medicalmissions.com). Pray now for all program personnel and participants. Pray for us from the IMB as we talk with people about mission service both short and long term.
Give thanks for a new X-ray machine in the Bangkla Baptist Clinic in Thailand. With the help of generous partners, the staff were able to purchase this machine which will allow good patient diagnosis and treatment. Pray for all who work in the Bangkla clinic and for all patients who come there.
Pray for a food distribution ministry that we helped start in a Muslim neighborhood in Western Europe. Ask the Lord to use believers to impact city leaders as well as the receivers of food in this poor community where many people face financial hardship. Pray for it to continue during this year and next.
Pray for the New Hope Trauma Healing Trainings that will be done with pastors and leaders who work with the displaced people along the northern border of Mexico. Training will begin the second week of October 2021 and will be done in 5 different locations along the border. Pray that we would continue to see New Hope Trauma Healing being reproduced and producing fruit for the kingdom, that people would be healed of their heart wound in a way that they can lead others to that same healing that comes from our Lord.
A worker asks prayer for the Caring Heart project which cares for at-risk mothers and children. The program includes some children staying in a home, a school for over 80 children, and a feeding program for almost 150 people. Pray for the workers and national partners.
Covid rules such as frequent hand washing are hard to do among farmers, villagers or tent dwellers who have a shortage of water. Please pray for availability of the Covid vaccine, public health teaching and projects for increasing water supply for these people. Pray especially that they will hear those stories about eternal life through Christ.
Pray for a neuroplasticity clinic in Central Asia treating patients with physical disabilities that limit their mobility and function. Pray that as they find new hope for their daily lives they will also find eternal hope. Pray for transformation of their families.
