Healthcare and the Mission of God

Jesus went about healing people and preaching the Kingdom of God. Healthcare professionals who want to serve Christ can find it challenging to integrate faith and practice, especially in a cross-cultural mission setting. Questions arise that are difficult to answer. How do I share my faith appropriately? Is compassionate care enough? How does my healthcare ministry advance Jesus' Great Commission to disciple the nations? Healthcare and gospel ministry can be driven by separate agendas. Healthcare and the Mission of God shows Christians can recover an integrated picture of healthcare ministry. Healing and faith fit together in a larger framework, the whole story of the Bible. From creation to redemption, a clear picture of God's purposes for humanity features compassionate care for others. The author illustrates this through stories of God's grace as Christian medical professionals face the challenges of global missions. Jesus invites us as healthcare workers to be transformed for His glory even as He works through us to heal those broken and suffering. The challenges of cross-cultural missions become His invitation to joy.
