From Community Health to Community Transformation
- Breakout Session
- Faith Hall 301 D/E
- March 24 2018 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Many pursuing God’s call to healthcare missions and community health are motivated by the desire to see people transformed by the gospel spiritually and physically. Can the gospel not only transform individual lives but entire communities, “that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10)? Yes! In this session, we will study several examples from different cultural contexts to see how transformational community development can empower communities to use their own God-given creativity and resources to find long-term, local solutions to positively impact community health.
Objectives
1. Develop a framework of wholistic health and integral mission.
2. Understand foundational principles and processes of the Community Health Evangelism approach.
3. Examine several practical case examples of community transformation from a community health and wholistic discipleship perspective.
