ABOUT US
“Jesus went about teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.” Matt 9:35. Our brothers and sisters in the biomedical research and health care community are following Jesus everyday as they seek to alleviate human suffering in Jesus’ name. In collaboration with CMDA Boston we enable students, clinicians, researchers and educators to serve faithfully in the university, community, and global mission fields. Our common tasks in all of these arenas and initiatives are to:
1. Define ourselves as followers of Jesus
2. To train ourselves to be healers, researchers, and leaders in his name
3. To enable others to do the same (see one, do one, teach one).
