Welcome to the next issue of MMN News.

Highlights of 2024

This month has been a time to reflect on what God has been able to do through the ministry of MMN and put in place the plans for the coming year. Grants Through your generosity we have been able to give grants and gifts to over 40 of our partners to help them share the good news of Jesus as they care for the physical and emotional needs of those in their communities. We want to share more about their ministries so that you are more informed as you pray for them. This month we have launched a new monthly update which shares more details on the latest news at two of our partners. Click here if you want to see what it looks like and please sign up if you want to receive them each month.

Makwete Clinic in Malawi We were able to give a grant to Seedsowers to help build this clinic

Bursaries We continue to support medical students who do a placement in a mission context as part of their training with a small bursary. This past year we have helped 16 students to experience what medical mission is like and you can read about the impact that this had on them by visiting the Electives page on our website. Please pray that God will continue to lead and guide them as they explore what He wants for them in the future. As you can see below, the number of applicants is increasing which is really encouraging so follow along and pray for these young people. Also, we are looking to extend the scheme to include others who are going on short-term medical mission trips.

We continue to support the Global Track programme run by Christian Medical Fellowship. The fourth cohort completed the course in March 2024 so please pray for them as they continue to process all they have learnt and experienced over the last couple of years. A new cohort started in September 2024 and we look forward to journeying with them as they explore medicine and mission in a cross-cultural environment. What is really exciting is that three of the participants are doctors who we have given a bursary to in the past. It has been really encouraging to see the results of the longitudinal survey that shows how those that have been through the track are still involved or engaging with medical mission in a meaningful way. Two of the team organising this track are ex-trackers who have just returned to start their specialty training after working in mission hospitals for the last year.

Shipments

We shipped 2 containers to Zambia and 1 to Angola plus a number of pallets to Moldova in 2024. This is the lowest number we have shipped in a long time and is a combination of receiving less donated goods to ship in the case of Zambia and customs issues in Angola causing major delays in clearing through customs. Please pray for wisdom as we consider the future and how best we support our partners in these countries.

Shipments

Thank you for your prayers. The paperwork was completed successfully and the container is now on its way to Zambia and is likely to arrive there around the end of February. Continue to pray for a smooth journey both in transit and through customs in Zambia.

Project Focus

Our project focus this month is the Good News Hospital in Madagascar who reach out to those living in very rural settings with good quality affordable healthcare. The hospital has recently expanded their maternity services, which MMN was able to help support.

Electives

Please be praying for Anna, Lauren and Thomas who have arrived at Kiwoko Hospital in Uganda and will be serving there over the coming weeks. We've recently been able to take on a number of new medical students and currently have 11 heading overseas this year. Please keep Hannah (Tansen Mission Hospital, Nepal), Lydia (Kijabe Hospital, Kenya) and Elizabeth (two hospitals in Kenya) in your prayers as they all head out in February.

If you'd like to hear more about what a medical elective in a mission hospital looks like, why not join us for our upcoming prayer event on Monday 10th February, where Jonathan Keith will be sharing about his experience at Chitokoloki Mission Hospital (Zambia).
