Bangladesh Missionaries
Drs. Leslie and Cynthia Morgan are missionaries of the Presbyterian Church ( U.S.A.).
They serve in Bangladesh as staff physicians at Christian Mission Hospital in Rajshahi and
as advisors for the health programs of the Church of Bangladesh. They live next
door to the hospital, a short walk from the banks of the Ganges River as it enters
Bangladesh from India.
The Morgans assist Christian Mission Hospital in a healing ministry of compassion
that reaches out to Muslims, Hindus, and Christians. At the heart of their personal
ministry is their bedside care for sick people. Les takes care of adults, while
Cindy manages the care of infants and children. They also help the hospital provide
primary care services, such as immunizations, health education, antenatal care,
nutritional rehabilitation, and family planning.
As advisors for the health programs of the Church of Bangladesh, the Morgans regularly
travel to rural areas of the county to assist the church's community health programs.
Here the Morgans have an opportunity to visit the homes of the some of the poorest
people in Bangladesh and to support the church in its ministry of understanding
and hope. They have helped the church initiate village health seminars that allow
villagers to discuss ways the church can work with them to address their most important
health problems, such as malnutrition, tuberculosis, and problems during pregnancy
and delivery.
First Presbyterian Church provides financial support and prayers for our medical
missionaries in the far reaches of Bangladesh. These two people are God's hands
and feet in Bangladesh.
From Dr. Cynthia Morgan
“At CMH my primary ministry is among children and their mothers. As I place
my hands on these little ones during ward rounds each day, I realize more and more
the sacredness of the opportunity that has been given to me. In silence I offer
up prayers of intercession, asking for God's healing mercy in each of their lives.
Fully aware that what we offer is as nothing in the sea of suffering that floods
this land, still we feel compelled to let our two meager grains of wheat fall into
this soil, and pray that they will bear fruit.”
