Medicine opening doors for ministry

Medicine opening doors for ministry

We went from the airport straight to the hospital to see Eduardo Milanesi—but not for the reason you’d expect. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Dr. Milanesi is combining his skills as a surgeon with his passion for sharing the gospel. When an opportunity came to open a medical practice in Santa Cruz, Dr. Milanesi saw that as an open door for the gospel too. Medicine and ministry go hand in hand for him; each patient is an evangelism prospect. As he treats them, he can’t help but share the gospel with them.

Read more from Missionary Abe Degner about how God is using Dr. Milanesi's work to bring healing and hope—resulting in saved lives and souls—in Cochabamba and Santa Cruz.

Walk-ins welcome at Taste of Missions; livestream available for virtual attendees

Registration for Taste of Missions is now closed! Still want to attend Taste of Missions? You can! Walk-ins are welcome at the in-person event, OR join us via livestream for the commissioning worship service and the afternoon program at tasteofmissions.com.

Support the Taste of Missions Offering

We’re 25 percent of the way to our Taste of Missions offering goal, but we will need your help to get there. A group of generous donors will be matching gifts given to ANY Taste of Missions project dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 to help us reach our goal!

We have identified two specific projects that you can support as part of the Taste of Missions offering. You can designate your gift to help us meet these two specific needs OR support the general Taste of Missions fund that will be split evenly between Home and World Missions at the end of June. No matter what you choose to support, you can help us reach our $20,000 Taste of Missions offering goal and make a difference in home and world mission fields.

Enhancement: Redeemer, Edna, Texas

Redeemer is a growing congregation with a mission-minded pastor leading the effort. Over the past three years, membership has increased by 26 percent, with 29 adult confirmations during that time. With 279 names on its prospect list and outreach opportunities expanding beyond what one pastor can manage, Redeemer is requesting short-term Home Missions support to call a second bilingual pastor to help connect with the growing community, both Spanish- and English-speakers, and continue reaching more people with the gospel.
