Health-CARE and the Church

How can the Church not only address individuals with health concerns but also strengthen and support them through education as well as prayer?

In Health-CARE and the Church: A Shared Focus, Phyllis C. Riles, draws upon her extensive experience and specialized background in both arenas to reveal the complimentary parallels between the operation and goals of the Church and healthcare to promote health and wellness for spirit, soul, and body.

God's covenant promises of health to Abraham and His provision of healing through redemption by Jesus Christ are activated by a collaboration belief and action. God and Man working together have always been the divine intent.

As the Church-the spiritual Body of Jesus Christ on the earth-we are to be an expression of His heart and hands extended to release His unfailing CARE through us to the communities and the world around us.

3 John 2 (NIV) states: "I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well."

- Can that pursuit of the Church be translated into healthcare awareness?
- Is it possible for the Church to be a hub of healthcare coordination for the community?
