Kelly Marie Manning began working as a physician associate in 2022 after graduating from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania. She started her career in Colorado as a Trauma & Acute Care Surgery PA-C. As the daughter of missionaries, she spent her early childhood in France and Sénégal. Despite growing up as a MK, she didn’t feel the initial call for missions until an evangelism training trip in 2012. Christ has been faithful to affirm this calling and prepare her to use healthcare as a conduit to share the Gospel. God began to open the doors for Kelly Marie in late 2024 to walk in faith and pursue full time medical missions. She will be moving to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to serve at Nyankunde Hospital. This rural hospital serves a population that has experienced an overwhelming amount of war, poverty, displacement, and death. Kelly Marie is confident that God will continue to use her to bring hope that only comes with knowing Jesus Christ.
