#209 Healthcare and the mission of God: Finding joy in the crucible of ministry 🗓
With Dr Paul Hudson
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.
Having served as a missionary doctor in Africa and Asia, Paul Hudson will unpack some of the roots of our frustrations and struggles as Christian health professionals. He offers a fresh perspective on healthcare and missions, a recovery of God’s purposes for healthcare in the bigger story of the Bible. His new book, Healthcare and the Mission of God invites us to joy in healthcare ministry.
