Mercy Medical Teams

Since 2006, LCMS Mercy Medical Teams have provided desperately needed health care to over 25,000 patients in underserved regions around the globe.

This short-term volunteer program offers medical professionals opportunities to volunteer abroad in a variety of clinical and health-related settings. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, other types of medical professionals and even pastors and hard working laity are coordinated and trained into specific Mercy Medical Teams (MMT), which work in conjunction with LCMS partner churches and international clinics to address needs of both body and soul.
