Betsy Aeschliman

With a BSN-RN degree, Betsy ministered in pediatrics for 38 years before joining MTW as a medical missionary. Betsy has a heart for mercy missions that combines her nursing skills with a passion to share the love of Jesus in a hurting, lost world. Her husband, Ash, went home to be with the Lord in September 2025.

Betsy assists church planters and national pastors by bringing short-term medical teams to encourage them in their callings. Betsy prepares and prayerfully guides five teams annually to help meet this number one request from our overseas colleagues.

Ash was an honorably retired teaching elder. He pastored Missouri and Illinois churches, worked for Covenant Seminary, and ministered through CEP (now Christian Discipleship Ministries). After their 2015 marriage, Ash was approved as an MTW missionary. Betsy and Ash joyfully served together, both overseas and at missions conferences. Ephesians 3:20-21 was a pillar for their life together.

Using a mobile-clinic model based on Matthew 9:35-37, Betsy ministers compassionate care with prayer and evangelism. She is active in recruiting healthcare professionals and non-medical volunteers for teams. She also trains medical mission leaders.

Betsy invites you to co-labor with her through prayer and financial support for the glory of Christ and the hope of nations. She also invites you to consider joining one of their medical teams!
