About this non-profit:

What do you think of when you hear the word missionary? Tremendous sacrifice? Religious extremism? Isolation in the wilderness of a far off land? In this episode of the Visionaries you will meet a young missionary couple serving in Africa - a couple who will change every stereotype you ever had about missionaries. Jim and Jody McGill are anything but isolated in their work to bring quality health care to a small community in Malawi, Africa. They are supported by individuals in small towns in the United States - and by an organization, the Medical Benevolence Foundation, considered the Presbyterian Church's best kept secret.
