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.

Professional with Purpose

Medadvance 2024 is a chance to explore how you can leverage your medical training to impact lostness both at home and abroad. Network with more than 40 field missionaries. Take part in breakout sessions led by missions experts, including topics like:

  • Being a healthcare volunteer

  • Addressing human needs in your community

  • Prayer walking and prayer strategy

  • Growing up as a third culture kid

  • Pathways to the mission field

  • Addiction: a practical guide to recovery

  • Engaging health strategies from the US

  • Not a physician?

  • The core missionary task and healthcare

  • US church partnering for the nations

  • Engaging Islam

  • Engaging Hinduism

  • Working with the deaf

  • Engaging the global diaspora

  • Serving as a single

  • Witness in the workplace

Learn what’s being done and the next steps you can take to join God in his great mission to demonstrate and share the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This annual mission conference allows those with medical backgrounds to:

• Connect with IMB missionaries and leaders
• Discover how God is at work as healthcare missionaries share stories
• Learn how you can pair your healthcare training with your love for international missions

Combine your medical expertise and your relationship with Christ to be a part of providing help and hope to those who have never heard the gospel.
