As healthcare workers, we meet hurting people every day in healthcare settings. We hear about diseases, pain, loss of dear ones, war, and poverty. People look to us for answers far beyond the chief complaints they present. And this should be expected because disease is more than physical.
But how do we respond? As followers of Christ in healthcare, we can begin by asking: Is God at work? The answer is always, yes! It is in the context of a broken world that God calls us as Christians to be salt and light, caring for our patient’s spiritual needs in addition to their physical needs.
Many healthcare workers desire to be the expressions of God’s love to their patients, but they do not know how to start or are too busy to use the opportunity. Yet, what would the world look like if Christian healthcare workers were trained to make use of those precious moments with their patients for Jesus? What if they knew how to be witnesses for Jesus?
The Saline Process(ihsglobal.org/SalineProcess) is a training developed by IHS Global that equips healthcare workers around the globe to be witnesses for Jesus in their healthcare settings. The course combines curriculum (translated into global heart languages), training (in-person, virtual, or hybrid), and follow-up led by trained leaders who have a heart for equipping others and for sharing Christ.
