What the Million Moms Initiative means for families
Every mom deserves a safe pregnancy, a safe birth, and steady help afterward. The Million Moms Framework makes that real: early checkups tracked in our EHR, eight prenatal visits with vitamins, skilled delivery teams, quick postpartum visits, mother classes, nurse training, and daily meals that meet real needs.

I’m excited to share the release of my new book:
“Doing Good, Well: A Best Practices Guide to Humanitarian Missions.”

After decades of serving in some of the world’s most challenging environments, I’ve seen the difference between well-intentioned efforts and truly effective ones. This guide distills the lessons, strategies, and systems that allow humanitarian missions to move beyond good intentions into measurable, sustainable impact.

Whether you’re a mission leader, healthcare provider, donor, or volunteer, my hope is that this resource equips you to serve with excellence—and to transform communities in a way that lasts.

Nutrition you can plan around
A mother cannot recover or keep appointments if she’s under-fed. We budget to cover ≄70% of daily calories, with iron-rich foods that support energy and milk supply.
Nutrition isn’t a side project; it’s part of the clinical plan.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
1833 lives were lost, and countless others were uprooted.

In those difficult days, my wife Laurie and I began what would later become LiveBeyond. We set up medical relief in Biloxi, Mississippi, treating those who had lost homes, livelihoods, and family members. We saw firsthand how quickly hope can collapse—and how urgently people need care, compassion, and a reminder that they are not forgotten.

That experience shaped everything that came after. From Haiti to India, from the West Bank to Ghana, LiveBeyond has been about bringing the same care we offered in Biloxi: life-saving medical help, dignity, and the love of Christ.

As we remember Katrina and those we lost, we also remember how God brought new purpose out of tragedy.

If you’ve ever asked, “How can we do good in a way that truly lasts?”—this book is for you.

The visit too many families miss
Complications often surface after birth. We schedule structured postpartum follow-up—early and close—to catch infection, fix breastfeeding issues, and keep vaccinations on time.
Those visits are short, focused, and they prevent readmissions.

Delivery teams that are ready
Birth is not the time to improvise. Our deliveries are led by trained MDs or midwives in-facility, with clear roles and a rehearsed plan for emergencies.
Teams win. Mothers and babies go home safer.

Why we insist on eight antenatal contacts
More visits mean more chances to prevent trouble. We standardize ≄8 ANC contacts and supply prenatal vitamins throughout pregnancy.
It’s a routine, not a guess: reminders, flexible clinic hours, and a visit checklist that staff can follow every time.

Catch problems early, then track them
The quiet risks—anemia, preeclampsia, infection—can escalate fast. We meet moms early, test and treat, and track progress in a lightweight EHR so no one slips through the cracks.
Early contact changes outcomes. The data proves it, and it’s simple to run.
