More Than Skills

Begin a Conversation with Us

We are a grace-based, international missions organization bringing together mission and spiritual renewal.

At Serge, we realize we need the grace of the gospel in our own lives, even as we take the message of God’s grace to others.

As we bring the good news to the fray of the world, we seek to care for the most vulnerable: the poor, the disabled, the bereaved, the weak, and the sick.

From short-term trips to long-term missions – we want to see the power of God’s grace transform your own life and motivate and sustain you to move into the lives of others – particularly those who do not yet know Jesus.

Our Ministry Approach

Our approach to medical missions is holistic – curative, preventative, and sustainable.

We send medical professionals
to provide quality care where it is sorely lacking.

Our doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and physical therapists partner with church and government health centers, often in collaboration with other mission agencies, to provide safe maternity and delivery care, treat vulnerable children, diagnose and comfort the sick, and restore vision to the blind. These types of hands-on care provide natural opportunities to pray with families in desperate times, and to clearly communicate God’s tangible love and presence in their lives.

We serve the health of the community in preventative and sustainable ways.

HIV prevention, health and hygiene education, and nutritional supplementation are examples of programs that address health problems at a root level. Our teams explore local beliefs and look for ways to come alongside communities in their desire for healthier lives. The difficulty of changing behavior opens the door to show how much all of us need the gospel.

How the work gets done

We Work in Teams

Serge prioritizes sending missionaries as teams. Teams provide missionaries with a supportive social life, shared prayer and worship, and the shared strength of working cross-culturally together. Whether members of a team are focused on a single business or engaged in multiple ventures, we seek to create teams with shared vision so that each individual’s work is strengthened by others’ gifts and efforts.

All Medical Work is Integrated

We believe that healing the sick is an inherently good act and affirms human life that is given by God. We bring healing alongside a verbal, Christ-centered gospel proclamation so that needs are addressed holistically. While the context determines how integration occurs, we always seek ways to integrate medical service in culturally appropriate ways.

We Equip Local People

Jesus cured disease and led people to healthier living, but He also passed on His ministry to His closest disciples. Serge teams teach medical students, student nurses, interns, and residents at all levels. We equip local people to care for their own communities, prayerfully passing on the skills and opportunities with which we have been blessed. These students will be the leaders – of both the medical community and the church – for generations to come.

Sustainable Ministry

Serge medical missionaries serve in high-need communities. We recognize the temptation toward overwork and burnout, so we work to provide our staff with emotional, mental, and spiritual encouragement, guidance, and respite. We want our medical staff to first find an identity as a son or daughter of God and a healer second.

Current Needs

Our missionary doctors, nurses, physical therapists, nutritionists, surgeons, and other health professionals are showing the love of Jesus through hands-on medical care where it is most needed, setting up public health programs to prevent disease, and equipping national health care workers to do the same for future generations.

If you’re a trained medical professional who wants to combine your skills with your passion for sharing the gospel, we’d love to talk with you!

Research as Mission - A Third Wave in Modern Healthcare Missions?

Main Building ED 210/211/212 (Classroom)
November 12, 2026, 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM
In person and virtual session

In the half-century since Alma-Ata, many host nations have made significant strides in providing clinical care and healthcare professional education to their populations. The needs have changed. Dr Wendler will suggest that knowledge-generation and -dissemination from mission hospitals in the "final kilometer" represents a persistent gap and that research as mission may prove to be the next wave in cross-cultural disciple-making via healthcare.

Sustaining the Smallest: Nutrition, Respiratory Care, and Thermoregulation for Neonates in LMICs

Main Building ED 213 (Classroom)
November 13, 2026, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
In person and Virtual

Neonatal care is an emerging focus for the WHO and other global healthcare organizations. Low resources and lack of advanced infrastructure lead to difficult management of care for what some could argue the smallest and most vulnerable patients in the world - preterm and sick newborns. In this session you will hear stories of how a pediatrician has overcome some of these obstacles by using very basic tools to enhance the care of this unique population.
