LOOKING FOR A MISSION TRIP?
How to get started:
BMDF is a Christian healthcare missions organization. Read
carefully the information under MISSION on our home page. We are
honored by God to be allowed to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ
through each of our healthcare missions projects. We ask that each
participant in a BMDF project be fully supportive of this aspect of our
ministry.
OR
CONTACT BMDF MEMBERS involved in ongoing international mission projects.
As you contact our members about prospective missions
projects, be prepared to talk with them about your own relationship to
Jesus Christ.
