Mobilizing Medical Missions

2025 M3 Conference

February 21-22, 2025

Dr. Paul and Jennifer Osteen share their heart for missions and serving in the remote areas of the world, where medical resources are all too scarce. It is out of this heart that the Mobilizing Medical Missions (M3) Conference was birthed.

We invite you to be a part of the M3 community as well. Come connect with others who share your passion, be inspired by dynamic speakers, and find YOUR mission!

The 2024 Mobilizing Medical Missions (M3) Conference was a success! Over the past 9 years, the vision of M3 has remained the same – to help people “connect with others, be inspired, and find their mission.” To fulfill this vision, attendees were able to ‘connect with others’ in various networking sessions, ‘be inspired’ by our speakers, and ‘find their mission’ in the conference Exhibit Hall. We were blessed to welcome over 750 attendees, 70+ exhibitors, and 20+ speakers from around the globe! We were also very encouraged by the support we received from dozens of sponsors and church partners. The theme for the 2024 conference was “The Least of These” with a focus on Matthew 25:40. We were able to point attendees toward ‘the least of these’ through informative plenary and breakout sessions, our annual Project of the Year award, which supported SIM Angola, and through our educational poster presentations. Throughout the conference, attendees were able to spend time in our prayer room where they could reflect on the things they had learned and listen to what God was speaking to their hearts to be encouraged in their next steps. At the conclusion of the conference, people left inspired, challenged, and ready to help the least of these. We are excited as we prepare for next year – the 10th Anniversary – set for February 21-22, 2025, in Houston, Texas!

“With fear and trembling, I stepped out of my comfort zone to obey what I felt like God had placed in my heart and amazing things began to happen!”

-Paul Osteen, MD
