Healing Lives.
Medical Ambassadors International is equipping communities through Christ-centered health and development.
For 40 years, Medical Ambassadors International has been working to heal communities and transform lives. Jesus’ ministry on earth revealed that he cares for the whole person. He was moved by people’s spiritual and physical pain. At Medical Ambassadors International, we strive to follow the example Jesus set for holistic healing. We use a development process called Community Health Evangelism (abbreviated CHE; pronounced chay; in some countries, depending on the context the program, is referred to as Community Health Education or Community Development Education) that addresses the needs of the whole person – physical, spiritual, emotional, and social. By using CHE, Medical Ambassadors is equipping individuals to be independent workers and evangelists in their own communities. At present MAI works in 2,674 communities around the world impacting a population of over 2.98 million people in 75 countries with 52,442 volunteers.

MAI Crisis Response
The strategy of Community Health Evangelism/Education (CHE) operates on a principle of maximizing available resources within the community to enable it to move towards a sustainable and empowering outcome.
