Mission, Vision, Beliefs
  MISSION:
to impact patients for Christ by equipping medical professionals to model and share the reality of Jesus and His principles in their practices.

VISION:
to spiritually transform the lives of patients, communities, systems and nations for Christ by equipping and mobilizing medical professionals who demonstrate personal spiritual growth, compassion and faith-sharing competence.

VALUES:
We have chosen these as the values through which we will live our beliefs:
      • compassion
      • servanthood
      • enablement

BEHAVIOR:

  • We practice faith and prayer. This is the lifestyle by which we will be known.

  • We seek to lift up the name of Jesus in all that we do.

  • We will participate in the healthcare systems of the world in order to competently demonstrate Jesus’ love through compassionate help, servanthood and enablement. This is the heart of our ministry.

  • We seek to respect and understand cultures, languages and local customs and healthcare practices as we serve.

  • We will work with, learn from and encourage those sharing like purpose throughout the world. We are committed to the community of Jesus Christ.
 

BELIEFS:

  • We believe that the Bible is the inspired word and revelation of God. These Scriptures are our final authority in faith and conduct.

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, yet one in essence, co-equal and co-existent.

  • We believe that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity and the eternal Son of God, was begotten of Mary, a virgin, by the Holy Spirit and was born of man. We believe in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary atoning death through His shed blood on Calvary’s cross, in His bodily resurrection from the dead, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal visible return in judgment, power and glory.

  • We believe that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only condition of salvation. This faith is a result of His gracious work of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, who causes one to realize the lost and sinful condition of the heart and enables one to turn in repentance and trust to Him as the sole deliverer from sin.

  • We believe that the follower of Jesus Christ is a new creature whose life is bound to Jesus Christ, Savior, Lord, Source and Sustainer of one’s faith. Through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, the Christ-follower is enabled to live a godly life of active love bearing witness to the Lord’s powerful presence and thus glorifying Him before all people.

  • We believe that there is a spiritual unity among those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. These people are part of Christ’s church and are entrusted with God’s glorious message of salvation.

  • We believe that the final destination of every person will be determined entirely by his or her relation to Jesus Christ. All who have truly accepted Christ will be kept to dwell with Him in heaven, perfect in every respect because of the presence of God. All who are not reconciled to God through Christ will be eternally separated from Him in hell. Followers of Jesus should therefore labor to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth and to demonstrate His love to those in need.
