Impact of Midwives

• Missionary midwives play a vital role in reducing maternal and newborn mortality.
• Missionary midwives impact the families and communities of their patients.
• Christian midwives transcend many barriers to the Gospel.

Overview

MissionGO seeks to mobilize qualified women who sense God’s calling to missionary midwife service. 

MissionGO can help its missionaries raise the necessary financial support for participation and acquire experience while serving in a clinic setting.   

Prerequisites

Applicants will be considered for acceptance to MissionGO based on their suitability for missionary midwife service including the following:

• Christian Faith: Have a solid and vibrant Christian faith
• Church Involvement: A positive relationship with a recognized church and regular attendance
• Ministry Experience: Have a solid track record of volunteer service in the church and/or community
• Have a sense of God’s calling toward overseas service as a missionary midwife
• Demonstrate a compassionate servant's heart
• Can be flexible in a team environment and be a team player

Because your time in the field will be under the MissionGO banner and ministry site, candidates will also be required to complete the normal application and approval process.  A MissionGO recruitment specialist will be happy to explain this process further.

Finances

Once accepted into a midwife school (separate from MissionGO), participants will be considered missionaries with MissionGO.  The approved candidate will work with MissionGO to begin fundraising to raise their support.

Outcomes

It is anticipated that by the end, participants will be trained, qualified, and experienced as overseas missionary midwives.  Additionally, since they will have raised a team of financial supporters and will be associated with a mission-sending organization, they will be in a strong position as they consider God’s next step in their lives.
