Why is it important?

Given the global spread of Christianity, Christians are in a critical position to effect radical change in individuals, communities, and systems for human flourishing and confront the global disease burden, injustice, and resource disparity that exists in the world. The increasing presence, activity, and faithfulness of Christians among all peoples are necessary both for improved global health equity as well as the universal receiving of God’s healing message. As an expanding movement, the Church has an increasing opportunity to define health, speak truth, provide care, make peace, cooperate, set priorities, and mobilize resources for maximum stewardship in low resource settings.
