As our year comes to a close, I just wanted to send each of you a huge “Thank you” for allowing the Baptist Medical Dental Fellowship to walk alongside each of you in your desire to serve ourLord through Healthcare ministries.
I would also like to share with you just a few of many thank you notes that we have received through the year that have resulted because of your generosity in financially supporting our healthcare projects in 2025.
From Students who received Student Scholarships in 2025 (just 3 of 26 who we helped scholarship):
“This scholarship allowed me to put myself in a situation I would never have been able to otherwise. This was a very important experience that made me put myself last and focus on others. From that, I was able to learn about how to communicate and best serve a diverse population that I will carry with me throughout the rest of my career. I learned a lot about cultural differences that I hope will allow me to connect with others that are different than me for the remainder of my life”.
“To the donors and members of BMDF who provided partial funding for this trip, thank you so much for making it possible for me to attend this mission trip. I have always wanted togo on one, but I have never been able to due to time and funding. With this scholarship, I was able to strengthen my own faith, share God’s word, and help others. Although helping others has always been a passion of mine, I have never felt the impact I have had on others until this mission trip”.
“This scholarship opened a door that I had prayed to be opened for a long time. I grew up seeing others in my community go on mission trips, and I always felt a tug at my heart to be a part of one. The right and available opportunities did not come until this trip, and when I heard about this scholarship, it was proof of people telling me to not let money stop me. I am ready to go back and serve the children of Casa defe, and I hope as a future physical therapist to be able to help and support other students to go on this trip as well.Leaving Casa defe was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do, and I will never forget this trip or the opportunity BMDF gave me by helping me to go”.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the donors and members of BMDF for your generous support in making this trip possible. Your financial contribution not only enabled me to take part in the Guatemala dental mission trip, but it also allowed me to serve a community in need and deepen my faith in ways I never imagined. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, not only on the people we served but also on my personal journey.I am truly thankful for your belief in the importance of this mission and for investing in the lives of those who were touched by our efforts. Your generosity has inspired me to continue giving back and to carry forward the spirit of service that you have helped cultivate. Thank you again for making this transformative experience a reality”.
From one of fifteen Healthcare workers who was able to attend the 2025 CMDE conference in Southeast Asia.
“I want to thank you for the opportunity I was given to attend the CMDE Program inSoutheast Asia this past February.
The meeting in Southeast Asia was like a fountain of cool sweet water to my soul. It was like what I used to drink from as a kid at a flowing well back near my home in Michigan. I drank deeply the amazing worship times each morning and evening. The worship leader, I have forgotten her name, was amazing in that all that she did pointed us to Christ. I got recharged spiritually beyond what I even realized I needed. Of course the academic program was outstanding as always with top-notch people coming to teach. It was a huge blessing to me to be able to attend. I am so thankful to BMDF and to each person who donates such that it allows us to attend a meeting like that every 2-4 years”.
From our Partnership with the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine
“Thanks to your support and openness to collaboration, we have been able to stand alongside those who need it most – patients, doctors, and medical teams working in difficult and often dangerous conditions during the war. Together with you, we are also contributing to the transformation of Ukrainian healthcare by promoting compassion in patient care, advancing medical education, and implementing modern technologies”.
