Health professionals in intercultural health ministries need training in the

missiology of healthcare:

• the biblical basis of health
• how to relate health concepts and the gospel to people of other cultures and religions

Medical Strategic Network, http://www.gomets.org/index.html. The Medical Strategic Network is a nondenominational evangelical organization dedicated to equipping health professionals to reach their spheres of influence for Christ. In many cases Christian health professionals feel ill-equipped to relate the gospel to the questions and concerns of their non-believing colleagues and patients. Designed by professionals for health professionals, METS conferences and preceptorships provide practical, hands on training to more effectively treat patients - both spiritually and physically.
