What are world medical missions? How are they making a global medical difference?

World medical missions are worldwide medical connections between Christian and non-Christian organizations. Medical missions teams from developed nations provide assistance for those in undeveloped nations. Free medical care, healthcare equipment, supplies and training and other resources are provided. Jesus Ministry is shared in over 100 countries through global missions.  “…….”Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40(ESV).
