“Let us do good.....”
The Central Africa Medical Mission serves as a supportive arm to the Gospel mission of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) by providing humanitarian aid to the people of Malawi and Zambia.
Welcome to the Central Africa Medical Mission, a 50-year legacy of healthcare in Zambia and Malawi. The volunteers and national staff see many faces and have been a light of Jesus to many people. Their work is one of humility, patience, commitment, and sacrifice for people that they may never see again. It is leaving a place of comfort and entering one that brings constant reminders of pain, disease, sorrow, and loneliness. Yet, it also brings the blessings of new friendships, lessons in perseverance and character, and a strengthened faith in the One who sustains, cares for, and loves all people.
The Medical Mission is a program in which WELS or ELS health care professionals can use their God-given abilities to spread His love in a different area of the world. This ministry is a tremendous benefit to the Lutheran Church of Central Africa and our fellow sisters and brothers in Jesus.
Your Christian sisters,
The Central Africa Medical Mission Committee

Putting all your eggs in one basket
Shuffling through the pile of mail today, a smile comes across my face. Ever receive an envelope from someone and you know it has good news in it just by looking at the address? Usually I only find marketing brochures or bills, but today a familiar envelope arrives.

Lutheran Mobile Clinic
The month of April got off to an interesting start. As you heard in the previous letter, we walked into a flooded house after being away for a weekend. Torrential rains caused a roof leak, but thankfully nothing very valuable was lost and, after all, water can be cleaned up with mop, or several mops in this case. I am very thankful that it was during the last rain of rainy season that the roof decided to give up. Nothing fast ever happens in Malawi, and we are still waiting for the roof to be repaired.
