Throughout the 2,000 years of church history, Christians on mission have witnessed to God's love through both words and deeds. The early church was renown for its care of the sick, disabled, and elderly - so much so that its sacrificial care of the needy was a critical factor in its rapid spread. Likewise, during the great era of western missionary zeal of the 19th/20th centuries, Christian workers established hospitals and clinics around the world. Care for the physical well-being of individuals and communities has always gone hand-in-hand with the verbal proclamation of the Gospel.
Today we begin a new series that looks at the ministry of medical missions. We want to explore how these ministries of compassion contribute to the overall advance of the Kingdom around the world. In this episode, we're speaking with Jenny Coon who serves as a physical therapist in a church-based compassion ministry in Beirut, Lebanon. She works mainly among Syrian refugees in an under-privileged community of the city.
