Student Sara Pross Finds Her Mission at M3
As a young child, Sara Pross had a God-given dream to serve as a missionary in Africa. Although she didn’t know how or what that would look like, she tucked it away in her heart, only for it to later be ignited by the dying wish of her father when he told her, “Sara, make sure you live out your dream.” Watch this video to see how God used M3 to help in her journey to fulfilling her destiny.

M32020 Welcomes Dr. Kristin Long
Humanitarian work can be extraordinary, fulfilling and purpose-driven; and in many cases may provide a cure for the emotional exhaustion many us feel at home. On the other hand, the stress and demands of providing care in low-resource settings can also cause these exact same problems. We will examine how medical mission work could be the cause OR the cure for burnout and how to prevent compassion fatigue.
Dr. Kristin Long will conduct a breakout on Saturday morning entitled, “Running on Empty: Wellness, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue in Humanitarian Work”. This session will address the critically important and timely concepts of burnout and compassion fatigue in medical providers.

M32020 Welcomes Dr. Jenny Eaton Dyer back to M32020. She is the founder of The 2030 Collaborative. As such, she directs the Faith-Based Coalition for Healthy Mothers and Children Worldwide with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Faith-Based Coalition for Global Nutrition with support from the Eleanor Crook Foundation.
Twenty-five years ago, 23.3 percent of the world’s population lived in hunger. Today, that number has dropped to 12.9 percent giving rise to the renewed hope that what once seemed unthinkable, is now within reach. The challenges are great, but the fight to eliminate malnutrition and hunger in the U.S. and around the world is one we can win. Come hear Dr. Dyer speak on how you can get involved in the work of eradicating global malnutrition and feeding the hungry.
