FROM A FORMER MMI STUDENT

As the Director of Missions for Port City Community Church (PC3), Christie Coley was in charge of a short-term medical mission trip to South Sudan.

While preparing, she found exactly what she was looking for in Equip’s Missionary Medicine Intensive (MMI) course—in her words, it was “a reasonably short course that would equip me with practical medical knowledge and skills.”

Christie came to Equip eager to learn, and she left “informed, and also refreshed and renewed spiritually” for the ministry ahead of her. She left for South Sudan soon after the course and shares that the knowledge that she gained helped her to “be more effective in serving to meet physical needs.”

Later, Christie returned with another PC3 team to serve alongside their national partners who, by then, had hired a young man to serve as the village doctor. They did another medical mission and helped set up a clinic and pharmacy for the village.

Not only did this village serve itself by providing much-needed medical care—they also extended this ministry to groups of nomadic Arabic cattle herders who traveled through the area. This medical care furthered their ability to reach these people with the Gospel!
