Crosslink Memphis

Crosslink Memphis is a medical supply ministry. Our mission is to equip medical mission teams with donated medical supplies, reading glasses, and low-cost medicine as they go to all nations to share the Gospel. To accomplish this mission, we partner with individuals, clinics, hospitals, and churches to receive in-date medical supplies, redistributing them to teams preparing to travel. Crosslink purchases medicine at cost as a licensed pharmaceutical distributor and shares the cost savings with the mission organization.

We have been serving mission teams since 2004 and have been an independent 501c3 nonprofit since 2012. Throughout the years, we have found various ways to equip mission teams and continue to look at how we meet the needs of those serving, from offering over 500 different selections of donated medical supplies to a fully customizable list of pharmaceuticals to be purchased. Each country, region, and physician has unique needs, so to adequately serve each team, we allow them to buy a comprehensive array of medicine, including antibiotics, antifungals, topical creams, vitamins, antiparasitic, and medicines to treat hypertension. Crosslink continues to find ways to aid teams going where there are no clinics and partner with groups that have relationships with local hospitals and clinics.

Stories from the Mission Field

Sharing the Gospel and incorporating the love of Christ is a critical factor for Crosslink as we evaluate partnerships. This story comes from a clinic in The Democratic Republic of Congo. "The low-dose aspirin assists the Shungu Clinic with pregnant patients who are identified with high blood pressure. The quality and large quantity that we can get from Crosslink helps meet that need. In the past, we have also turned to Crosslink for blood pressure monitors and urine testing strips. These have built up the response mechanisms locally for treating pregnant women."

"Those who visit the Shungu Clinic come to know Christians who embody the love of Christ in community. The ways they are shown care and respect no matter who they are or where they come from is different from public health clinics which may treat some better than others. As people see the embodiment of Christ in believers, they are offered renewed hope and health."

A recently equipped trip to the Amazon Jungle in Peru found a team in a remote village only accessible by boat. While hosting a general clinic for the two hundred villagers, one of the ladies in the village presented to the clinic with a piece of glass stuck in her foot. The glass had already been there for several weeks. The foot was tender, sore, and swollen, and she was walking with a limp. The physician on the team, with the aid of one of the nurses, was able to use a sterile lacerations tray, lidocaine, absorbable sutures, gauze, gauze rolls, antibiotics, and antibiotic creams to make a small incision and retrieve the piece of glass.
