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.

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.

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.

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.
