our mission

We want to make a lasting impact for the kingdom of God through overseas medical work. The way we have been called to do it is through multiplication of OB/GYN doctors.

why ob/gyn’s?

Africa needs OB/GYN doctors to provide care for women and expectant mothers. Currently over 2/3 of all maternal deaths during childbirth occur on the African continent. There are only ~400 OB/GYN’s in all of Kenya to care for 10 million women; not nearly enough!

What do you mean by “Multiplication”?

The need for OB/GYNs is great, too great to be alleviated by simply the addition of one American mission doctor. The best way to make a lasting impact on the medical landscape of Africa is through multiplication of local doctors. This happens through providing training. African doctors who are trained in-country remain and practice in-country, and then can to go and train other local OB/GYNs.  

The vision of multiplication also extends to disciple-making. Doctors and their families are discipled through their training as followers of Christ, deepening their relationships with Christ through living out faith in community with other participants in the program. Graduates are prepared and sent to live their lives as disciple-makers, equipped and sent as agents of both physical and spiritual healing.

Why Kenya?

Tenwek Hospital is a strategic location prepared to be the first mission hospital in the African Continent to train OB/GYN residents. The vision is for the residency program to serve as a template for starting future programs across Africa. The goal is for Tenwek and future residency programs to produce 40 or more OB/GYN graduates practicing and teaching throughout the continent by 2040.
