2025 M3 CONFERENCE

In a 100 mile radius of thick bush where close to 200,000 farmers, herdsmen and traders live in small villages and towns, there is the town of Egbe where ECWA Hospital Egbe, founded in 1952 was on the verge of collapse due to the lack of leadership and insufficient resources. In 2012, it was little more than a clinic and patients were often turned away due to limited qualified staff, outdated equipment, poor water supply and little electricity. The community and entire region suffered from a severe lack of healthcare and pleaded for a revitalization of the hospital.

Hearing the call, Egbe Medical Mission was formed to completely restore, rebuild, re-equip and restaff Egbe Hospital and ECWA College of Nursing Sciences. Empowering the surrounding community and stepping out in faith we committed to build infrastructure, provide compassionate, Christ-centered healthcare and training, equip Nigerians, create sustainable systems, best practices, and share the love of Christ in all we do.

Through collaborative efforts with mission minded partners, donors, and volunteers, Egbe Medical Mission has launched comprehensive initiatives, including:

1. Visit local churches in Egbe and ask for fervent prayer for success and villagers that could donate labor (best estimate is 800 a day praying for the revitalization)
2. Rebuild, re-roof buildings and construct many new ones, build a reservoir, and install solar and diesel generators
3. Send shipping containers from the USA with medical and construction equipment
4. Install Starlink and other forms of technology to enable virtual training, mentoring, telemedicine and operational efficiencies.
5. Recruit Nigerians and establish training programs for medical and non-medical professionals
6. Fundraise, seek volunteers and missionaries, financial partners and share the story of what God is doing.

Egbe Medical Mission has transformed Egbe Hospital & College of Nursing Sciences into a Beacon of Hope and Healing:

1. The hospital now serves over 30,000 patients annually, performs 1200 surgeries and delivers 450 babies
2. Six Nigerian Family Medicine residents are in training along with 450 Nursing and Midwifery students
3. 6 ministering chaplains speaking different languages serve the patients, their relatives, the staff, and the students
4. The quality of our work is the platform or our witness especially to government accreditation officers impressed with our standard far above country standards
5. Through benevolent care, thousands of vulnerable patients have received free or subsidized medical services.
6. Lives are being healed, communities strengthened, and a sustainable healthcare model is being established in one of Nigeria’s most underserved regions
