September 30, 2021 Webinar #75 Dae-Young Lee - Medical Mission in the Islamic Context
Recorded on 30 September 2021 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Dae-Young Lee.
What is our preconception about Muslims? Do we continue to practice medical missions in a way that is no longer considered an effective means of presenting the gospel to the unreached? Is our gospel message biblically balanced and firmly contextualized in the context that we try to serve?
There are numerous questions that we may ask ourselves when we desire to share God's love with people who are still alienated from it. Christian cross-cultural missions should reconsider the strategies and attitudes that no longer reflect biblical principles.
Dr Dae-Young Lee is a General Surgeon and Director of the International Health Care Center, & Palliative Care Center, Presbyterian Medical Center, Korea.
