In 2025, Dr Andrew Browning is working in Fistula camps in Malawi, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Chad, Uganda, Congo and Togo.

Motivated by the love and compassion of Jesus, for more than 50 years the Barbara May Foundation (BMF) has supported the work of doctors addressing the needs of these vulnerable women by providing healthcare, as well as advocating for the protection of young women and girls, fostering a supportive environment for maternal health. By building maternity hospitals and enhancing existing facilities, BMF significantly increases access to emergency obstetric care for women in remote areas.

Their work not only addresses immediate medical needs but also shares the life-saving message of Jesus Christ, integrating spiritual care with health services to enrich community well-being.

Bible Society Australia and megavoice Australia will partner with BMF to deliver 650 audio Bibles to African patients in 2025. Fistula patients will receive an audio player device or lantern to take home to their families – and villages – and hear God’s life saving word in their heart language. In addition, Midwives will receive high quality video-based medical training via megavoice’s Envision tablet players.

Around 650 households will be impacted in 2025 by the distribution of audio Bibles. The megavoice audio Bibles bring hope, the eternal hope offered by God through Jesus. As patients receive the players, they are impacted not just by the health messages, including the testimony of a fistula patient who was physically healed, but also by the Bible and the message of the gospel. The gospel’s message that Christ has come to save people brings tremendous renewal in people’s lives when they give their lives to Christ, far more than any physical healing can bring.
