international ministries: mobilising for mission

CMF's International Department - formerly known as Healthserve - is promoting and supporting medical mission and international work in various ways.

We have 200 members working abroad full time with a variety of mission and secular agencies in 45 different countries. Many others, based in the UK, are regularly involved in short-term visits and mission activities. We would love to see more Christian doctors and nurses playing a part - by going, giving, praying, partnering, teaching, training - there are many opportunities to serve.

Our job opportunities page gives details of specific needs and vacancies abroad and mission resources contains an extensive directory of organisations and support services to help you find out more.

Go to student electives for information and advice on planning and preparing for an elective in a developing country. We are a multi-discplinary department and have resources for doctors, nurses, therapists, dentists and students.

CMF is supporting this year's Micah Challenge campaign, which wants to change the world through millions of tiny promises. We believe the poor of our world are being forgotten. So we're asking people to commit to remember them, not just once in a while but in the day-to-day actions of everyday life. We're offering the chance to make a promise as a way of saying 'I'll do it'. And we think these public promises can inspire others, including our new government, to say they'll do it too. Make your promise. Unite with others to take your promise to your MP. On Sunday 10.10.10, join with millions of people in dozens of nations as we bring our promises before God, and pray that he'd use them to create a more just world. There's power in a promise, no question. The only thing to ask is what will yours be?
