About MedSend
MedSend enables highly qualified and dedicated healthcare professionals to serve spiritually and physically needy people around the world in the name of Christ. We do this by making their monthly educational loan payments while they serve. Without MedSend, these healthcare professionals would need to spend years working in the U.S. to pay off their educational debt before going and being able to answer God’s call to serve – and many would never make it to the mission field at all.

Our Vision
We seek a world where individuals will be healed physically and spiritually, while their communities become places of health, prosperity and stability. MedSend is working to enable this transformation of people and cultures around the world through healthcare missions.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enable healthcare providers to work where they have been called, unencumbered by educational debt, and to monitor their progress in their roles as healthcare providers, teachers and examples.
Our Grant Recipients
Since 1996, MedSend has approved educational loan repayment grants to over 400 healthcare professionals serving around the world. They serve in areas of deep physical and spiritual need, many of them in areas of the world untouched by the gospel. As healthcare providers, some are welcomed in areas that are closed to evangelism. Grant recipients staff and run mission hospitals and rural clinics, which often involves training and mentoring Christian nationals as caregivers. Through extensive involvement in community health education programs, many grant recipients are working to transform entire communities.

Our Associates
Sixteen mission boards and sending agencies were instrumental in founding MedSend. Since then, additional organizations have joined, bringing the total number of MedSend Associates to more than 86. We work closely with our Associates and rely on them to provide screening, training, assignment, oversight and accountability for MedSend grant recipients.

Prayer Room
MedSend was born of and built on the prayers of our founders, our staff and our faithful supporters. Please join us in praying for MedSend’s ministry, for our grant recipients and for the people and regions they serve.
Here are some special prayer requests from MedSend grant recipients serving around the world:
Nigeria – In March, Christian-focused attacks in Jos, Nigeria left between 300 and 500 people dead a few weeks ago, including women and children. In some areas homes and churches were burned.
Pray: for stability, for physical and spiritual healing for the victims and protection for believers.
Sudan – In April, Sudan held its first free elections in 24 years, which inflamed an already volatile situation. Some organizations temporarily pulled their missionaries from the area.
Pray: for peace and stability, that the new government will govern well, and for a quick and full resumption of Christian ministry.
Kyrgyzstan - Violent protests in Kyrgyzstan have led to the ouster of the corrupt president and his regime. The government had imposed increasingly restrictive laws that negatively impacted peaceful religious communities.
Pray: for the safety and security of the Kyrgyz people and for a government that would allow more freedom and ministry opportunities.
