Medics: Care that reaches to eternity
As a healthcare professional you have an immense impact on those you care for. But have you considered the eternal impact you might have on someone? By using your skills in places where people have little access to the gospel you can bring real hope.
Pete’s Story:
“The hospital seeks to show Christ-like love to its neighbours, both near and far, demonstrated most clearly by sharing the good news of Jesus. Every interaction presents an opportunity: the gospel is explained to patients in the waiting room, and patients are also prayed for during ward rounds and before surgery.”
Pete, served at AIC Kijabe Hospital in Kenya for 11 years
