About Our Partner

For more than thirty years Frank served the church in Africa as a PC(USA) mission co-worker, focusing on ministries of health and development. A native of North Carolina, Frank has a master’s degree in public health and completed doctoral work in international public health and epidemiology at Tulane. In 2010, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Davidson College for his long and effective service to the church. Since 2017, Frank has helped to connect The Outreach Foundation and U.S. churches with African church partners. He has facilitated work in trauma healing training and education for refugees and worked with vulnerable children and families. Frank also advises Presbyterian hospitals in Malawi (part-time) where he served for 14 years. 

Frank and his wife, Nancy Miller Dimmock (daughter of retired missionaries) have eight children, six of whom are adopted. In addition to engaging in ministry in their home and raising their children, Nancy co-founded and coordinated the Ministry of Hope crisis nurseries in Southern Africa, a ministry serving abandoned and neglected infants and vulnerable children.

The Impact

Frank’s ministry will provide opportunities for U.S. Presbyterians to travel and serve with him and to experience the deep faith and transformational work of the church in Africa.

The OPPORTUNITY

The Outreach Foundation is seeking gifts to support the mission and ministry of Frank Dimmock. All gifts of any size are welcomed to help with program and support funds.
