Pentecost, celebrates the Holy Spirit’s descent upon the Apostles, after which, Peter spoke and three thousand people believed! It is often said that Pentecost is the birth of the Church. The Holy Spirit ignited the disciples with courage and a shared purpose – to spread the Gospel message of love and healing to the world.
Â
At Mission Doctors, the spirit of Pentecost resonates deeply with our mission. Just as the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples, Mission Doctors are called to serve the most vulnerable, offering lifesaving medical care to those who most in need.
Â
The Flames of Compassion
As Jesus promised, Pentecost brought the Apostles the gifts of the  Holy Spirit – wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2). These very gifts guide the hands of MDA’s Physicians, Dentists, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants  working with our local partners to provide compassionate medical care in Africa, Latin and South America.
Â
Empowering Local Healers
Following Jesus’ example of healing and teaching, those who serve with MDA not only treat patients but also provide training to enhance local medical professionals. They do this with raining, workshops and mentoring with new equip, providing our local partners with the skills and knowledge to improve the care that can be provided. This teaching, ensures a lasting impact, long after our Mission Doctors return home.Â

The Call to Action
The Holy Spirit compels us to action. As we celebrate this sacred day, we invite you to join us in carrying forward the torch of Christ’s healing ministry. Your support, prayers, and volunteer efforts fuel our mission to bring medical care and hope to those who need it most.
Â
Together, empowered by the Holy Spirit, may we strive to follow Christ’s call of healing and love.
