How this course relates to missional core values

Biblically based

Missionary healthcare workers should always view their acts of service as forms of worship, because they are working to glorify God and not any mortal.

Missionally driven

Missionary healthcare workers are called to love patients through the darkness of their disease. Christ’s love and merciful touch manifesting through them may be the only Bible that a patient will ever read.

Contextually informed

The countenance and conduct of missionary healthcare workers should be reflections of the likeness of the Lord in all they say and do.

Interculturally focused

Missionary healthcare workers should never look down on anyone else unless they are reaching down to help them.

Practically minded

Students should regularly refer to the Bible and prayerfully seek answers and guidance regarding any problem they may encounter personally or on the mission field.

Experientially transformed

When missionary healthcare workers wholeheartedly rely on God, they will be spiritually equipped to cope with those periods of weakness and weariness that they will inevitably encounter in themselves and others.
