Equipping health workers for missions
By AfriGO Team
Healthcare workers around the world may have a desire to share their faith, but not know how to do so effectively. The organizations below have trainings and coaching which can help.
IHS GLOBAL
*IHS Global® (see article), through partnerships, equips Christian healthcare workers who are already caring for the physical needs of their patients to also care for their spiritual needs. It is a multinational Christian organization which provides training through their Saline Process programme. This 18-month process equips and mobilizes healthcare workers to share the love of Jesus so that patients in hospitals and clinics throughout the world hear about Jesus and experience His compassion through the words and actions of Christian healthcare workers. The programme includes mentoring and follow-up. The community also connects people online and locally to encourage and pray for one another. Almost 50,000 Christian healthcare workers in over 125 countries have been trained through the Saline Process®.
