Dr. Paul Osteen Reveals God’s Message That Led Him to Save Lives in Africa
Dr. Paul Osteen has a heart for the “least of these” and for “reaching the unreached.” Osteen, brother of megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen, is preparing to host The Mobilizing Medical Missions (M3) Conference from February 17-18, 2023, at Lakewood Church in Houston Texas, an event aimed at inspiring and equipping doctors to serve on the mission field.
“I was raised in a pastor’s home, and at 12 years of age [my dad] took me on a mission trip to Africa with him,” he recently told CBN’s Faithwire. “When I got off the tarmac, there, as we refueled, I just felt like God put in my heart: ‘One day, you’ll come back here as a missionary.'” Osteen said God “birthed that dream” in his heart. After becoming a surgeon as an adult and practicing in Little Rock, Arkansas, Osteen was finally able to go on his first medical missions trip 16 years ago — and that experience changed everything. “God intersected my path with the ability to do medical missions,” he said. “Now, I do that four or five months a year [and I’m] able to spend that time in sub-Saharan Africa and just see the needs and see the great discrepancies in healthcare.”
This experience has given Osteen a keen ability to reflect on the blessings Americans have and how much access people in the U.S. have to care. “When my children were little, if they needed a Tylenol or Ibuprofen for fever, we just went to the drugstore and got it,” Osteen said. “But over there, there’s no drugstore There’s no money. There’s villages and they’re far far away, and I think it really one of the impetus is for me to do what I’m doing.” He recalled one experience working in a small missions hospital in Zambia when someone approached him and said he was the only person in an area the size of Louisiana who was qualified to do surgery. That moment absolutely stunned Osteen, bringing home the dire nature of the situation. Watch him tell his incredible story.
