admin September 20, 2023

By Daniel W. O’Neill | Global health engagement is a key part of church planting efforts and an indispensable partner in meeting global goals for sustainable development.

admin September 20, 2023

By Joshua Bogunjoko | Medical missions, especially among least reached communities, seems difficult and the financial proposition absurd. Yet all people need healthcare.

admin September 20, 2023

By Stan Parks | Globally, 1,965 church planting movements (CPMs) are being reported, with approximately 90% of these among current or former unreached people groups. These reports have been compiled by the 24:14 Coalition. Our primary goal has been to find out where the unreached are being reached so we can identify the gaps where the unreached are not being reached.

admin September 20, 2023

By Jim Ritchie | The role and experience of healthcare missionaries (HCMs) is different from other missionaries. However, it is different. HCMs tend to encounter death, suffering, and moral crises many times a day. Though they have experienced death and similar crises during their training or practice in their home countries (particularly if their home country is in the West), few HCMs will have seen such crises in the enormous scale found in the mission field.
