Medical Missions with Caroline Klingbeil

01/25/23 • 25 min

Latest statistics in the US show that there are 26 physicians per 10,000 people in our country. Looking at places like West Africa, this number is dreadfully lower - in the country of Togo, for example, that number is around 1 doctor per 10,000 people. With that kind of disparity, it’s obvious that medicine and healthcare are a critical human need in places like West Africa. Where does Christian missions fit into that story?
Today we're continuing the conversation by speaking to one of our partners serving in the medical field in Africa. We'll be speaking again with Caroline Klingbeil. Caroline is a missions partner of Liberty who serves as a nurse at the Hospital of Hope in Togo.

Medical Missions with Jenny Coon

Throughout the 2,000 years of church history, Christians on mission have witnessed to God's love through both words and deeds. The early church was renown for its care of the sick, disabled, and elderly - so much so that its sacrificial care of the needy was a critical factor in its rapid spread. Likewise, during the great era of western missionary zeal of the 19th/20th centuries, Christian workers established hospitals and clinics around the world. Care for the physical well-being of individuals and communities has always gone hand-in-hand with the verbal proclamation of the Gospel.
Today we begin a new series that looks at the ministry of medical missions. We want to explore how these ministries of compassion contribute to the overall advance of the Kingdom around the world. In this episode, we're speaking with Jenny Coon who serves as a physical therapist in a church-based compassion ministry in Beirut, Lebanon. She works mainly among Syrian refugees in an under-privileged community of the city.
