Having served regularly in six countries, we have discovered that we can ensure the greatest lasting effect in these regions when we invest in leadership. Solomon said in Proverbs 13:12 that when there is no Hope your heart is sick.  Our mission at MRI is to lift others up by bringing them Hope. MRI is investing in 5 incredibly bright, motivated and skilled young international students who will be the future core of MRI International Teams within the next 4 years.

This gift of professional education would have been an utter impossibility for these students without the scholarship financial support offered by MRI.  During their educational phase, our team will provide in-country support to MRI missions in their country and after graduation will also provide professional expertise in future MRI centers for health care.

What is the goal of the International Team?
The goal of the MRI International Team is to develop ripple effects of Hope.  When we invest in people through education and career possibilities, we develop local leadership.  Equipped with skills and leadership, we leave these individuals with tremendous HOPE; helping their families, their communities and eventually their nations.

How is the International Team chosen?
There is no application process.  International Team members did not actively seek their positions.  These are people who learned of MRI in their towns and villages, and generously donated both time and talent volunteering with us.  While we have many fantastic volunteers, these individuals stand out as particularly bright, motivate and skilled.  Working and living side by side for several weeks under sometimes-stressful situations has proven to be an effective interview process.
