Kristine McLaughlin has been serving in Ivory Coast since 2009. As a nurse practitioner, she uses medical care to open doors for evangelism and church planting. Through the years, the Lord has wonderfully blessed this ministry in allowing previously closed villages to become opened to the Gospel. On a routine basis, Kristine coordinates the village ministry of the Fundamental Baptist Church of Bingerville. She organizes teams of nationals to serve in village evangelism, discipleship, a literacy center, and children's ministries. In 2017, the Lord led Kristine to found a medical ministry called ACCESS. ACCESS coordinates US healthcare providers into medical teams that partner with national pastors to facilitate church planting.
