Drs. Liz & Ethan Helm
WNY Medical Missionaries to Cambodia
Elizabeth Helm is a Buffalo/UB native who, with her husband, has previously served in Cameroon (Africa) through Samaritan's Purse. In November 2018, they began a journey in Cambodia through World Team, a global mission agency dedicated to church planting among unreached people groups.
Joe & Rebecca Harvey
WNY Medical Missionaries to Congo
For over 25 years, Joe and Rebecca Harvey have been medical missionaries in Congo, where they started Pioneer Christian Hospital in a remote region of the country – so remote, you cannot get there by road; only by plane or boat. Joe is a family physician who does just about everything – primary care, hospital medicine, surgery, and obstetrics (he delivered his own kids in Congo). They have four children who were raised in Congo.

Medical Education International (MEI)
Medical Education International is a short-term missions program that provides academic teaching and clinical training while spreading the gospel to doctors and students in hard to reach countries. Teams teach subjects requested by their hosts. This may include medicine, dentistry, nursing, medical ethics, and faculty development.
Christian Community Health Fellowship (CCHF)
For more than 30 years, CCHF has provided networking for students, medical professionals and people interested in Christian community development. The purpose of CCHF is to live out the gospel through healthcare among the poor. The organization was established to provide focus on the need and the "how to" in caring for the poor.
