“We are looking for Kingdom messengers who have medical skills and want to use those skills to advance the gospel in the hard places.” – A Pioneers doctor in the Middle East

Have you considered using your expertise as a means to serve cross-culturally and bring the Good News to people who have never had a chance to hear about Jesus? We have opportunities for people like you.

  • Madeline serves as a doctor in a rural area where healthcare is scarce.

  • Reese, a midwife, leads a team in an area with high maternal mortality. They deliver babies and provide pre-natal and postnatal care.

Others serve through chiropractics, community health, nursing or teaching healthcare in universities.

Medicine and healthcare give these Pioneers unique access. Their specialized skills help them meet felt needs and walk with people through hard times, while sharing stories about Jesus, the Great Physician Who has the power to heal.
