Use Your Medical Expertise to Share Christ at Home and Abroad
Lostness is growing every day, and we must reach the nations, no matter the cost. Healthcare missions strategies are opening doors to a hurting world and allowing gospel access to unreached peoples and places in unique ways.
September 12-14, hundreds of healthcare professionals, students, and church leaders from around the world will gather at Houston’s First Baptist Loop Campus for MedAdvance 2024.
Houston provides a particularly strategic location for a missions conference for medical professionals. Houston is home to world-class medical training and research led by world-class medical professionals. At the same time, Houston has a global diaspora population of almost 2 million foreign-born people who call Houston home.
In Houston, the mission force lives and works within reaching distance of the mission field, so we have a unique opportunity.
