#238 A Christian healthcare perspective on Lausanne 4 🗓
For the past 10 years the Lausanne Health for All Nations Issue Network has been striving to help the global Church understand health from a biblical perspective and with that perspective to actively engage in caring for the whole person wherever she exists. Of equal if not greater importance is that the Church embraces caring for the whole person in the way of Jesus so that people from all ethne can hear about Jesus and that many will come to faith in Him. Lausanne 4 in Incheon/Seoul could play a key role in seeing this all become a reality but only if certain conditions are met. We will discuss what those conditions are.
