Global Health Ministries is a nonprofit organization based in Fridley, Minnesota, that advances health and well-being by partnering with Lutheran efforts around the world. It pursues a holistic view of health, recognizing that improving patient care, while essential, is not sufficient in many resource-poor settings where health outcomes are shaped by conditions at home. The organization collaborates with church networks to sustain health initiatives across diverse communities. It operates with a mid-sized staff to support its international partnerships. A recent development is a 2025 partnership with Lutheran World Relief, through which GHM helped distribute nearly 50,000 quilts and baby care kits to Lutheran health care facilities in Madagascar, Tanzania, Liberia and Zimbabwe. The focus remains on broad health promotion in the communities served, aligning with Lutheran partners to strengthen health systems beyond direct medical care.
