BMMI is More Than Medicine

By Dr. Ralph Izard, BMMI Director

      Across the globe, there are men, women and children living without access to basic medical care — communities where a simple antibiotic, clean water or a compassionate touch can mean the difference between life and death. In those places, God is at work through Baptist Medical Missions International (BMMI).

      BMMI teams are made up of dedicated volunteers — doctors, nurses, pharmacists and laypeople — who serve on short-term mission trips in partnership with local churches and missionaries. But their work is about far more than medicine. It’s about planting churches, reaching the unreached and sharing the love of Jesus in some of the world’s most overlooked places.

      We can’t do it without you. Whether you go or send, you are a vital part of opening doors for the gospel through compassionate healthcare. Your support helps us serve missionaries on the field, gain new contacts in the communities we visit and show the world the love of Christ in action.

      By giving financially to BMMI, you’re not only helping provide critical medical care — you’re helping build bridges for eternal impact. Every clinic becomes a platform for the gospel. Every touch, every treatment, becomes a testimony to God’s mercy.

      Will your church prayerfully consider giving to BMMI today? Whether it’s a one-time gift or an ongoing partnership, every dollar makes a difference. Together, we can bring healing to bodies and hope to hearts — both now and for eternity.

      Right now, our funds are running low. We are praying for more partners to join us on our mission of bringing hope through healthcare, providing clinics that not only meet a basic human need but also open the door to the saving gospel of Jesus. As giving is declining, the cost of travel expenses and medications continues to rise. We would love to come share with your church about what God is doing through BMMI. You can access a video about our ministry at vimeo.com/1088168419. Feel free to share it with your church. Thank you for your heart for missions. Thank you for believing that healing hands and gospel hope belong together.
