Dr Santhosh Mathew chairs a discussion with Dr Daniel O'Neill.

Dr O'Neill presents a four-fold theological framework for health-related mission revealing God’s healing intentions in creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. Starting with creation, health and wholeness, he then identifies the origins of disease processes through corruption and fractured relations which creates a deep yearning for healing. Then traces a compelling biblical call to participate in salvation, healing and mission for an active engagement for health workers, showing what healing is, what it requires, and what it results in – abundant life.

Daniel O’Neill, MD, MTh is a physician-theologian and managing editor of Christian Journal for Global Health, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and holds a master’s degree in theological studies from Bethel Seminary. He has served on health and development projects among impoverished or displaced populations. He is a co-founder of Health for All Nations and author and co-editor of the book All Creation Groans: Toward a Theology of Disease and Global Health.

Health System Strengthening (HSS) is the banner and rally cry for building resilience and improving timely access to quality health services for those most in need. In this webinar, we will review definitions of HSS; outline critical processes used by donors, partners, and authorities; and build a shared vision of success based on impact and scale. We will identify how Christians offer unique value to HSS efforts due to our scale, our unique voice for holistic health, and our ability to integrate the church and community with the work of health facilities. We will draw from Nehemiah’s experience rebuilding Jerusalem for inspiration.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar and Q&A with Dr Pablo Martínez.

We can compare our life to a swimming pool where the water is our energy. Two streams of water need to occur at the same time: output, that is water coming out (our physical, emotional and spiritual energy); but also input, the water coming in, which is our personal renewal and refreshment.

Dr Pablo Martínez is a psychiatrist and he currently works at a private practice in Barcelona. He develops a wide ministry as lecturer and teacher in many European countries on topics like “Mind and faith”, “The therapeutic value of the Gospel in emotional problems” or “Taking care of yourself”.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar and Q&A with Dr Rick Paul.

So you graduated! Congratulations, it is the crown on your training. But it can also result in uncertainty, even anxiety. Because… what to do next? What to choose? What if you make the wrong choice? You will be unhappy all your life. At least, that is how it feels. And even when we had plans, this pandemic destroyed many of them.
