Ministry profile

Assoumane Mahamadou was holding down a good job as a nurse in a well-established hospital. People told him he’d be crazy to leave. But his conviction to open a new Christian medical clinic in Madaoua, Niger, was one led by faith. 

God blessed that vision with the formation of a new ministry in 2012. Three years later he’s on the cusp of cutting the ribbon for a new clinic building across the street from the space he has been renting since starting the ministry. The ministry staff continues to grow as well.

Mahamadou has a nature of taking an idea and running with it. When the building he was renting wasn’t big enough, he expanded it with a maternity ward. He already had started work on a new clinic by the time the Luke Society started participating in his ministry.

Mahamadou also has other areas of ministry outside the clinic. He regularly preaches in the local congregations. He also does visits to the local prison to offer medical care and Bible study programs to inmates.
