This is a series of sessions from leading experts in healthcare missions.
In Honor-Shame cultures, people can misinterpret and see in our actions merit making, proselytization or apostasy, however pure our motivation may be. We will look at honor-shame based worldviews, come to understand how people may interpret what we do and look at risks and practices that may help us show and share God’s love appropriately. The workshop will use observations from relief and urban poor work in SE Asia. Application is relevant both overseas or close to home.

In healthcare there is a need for motivated and passionate leadership. Having a sense of "call" to a specific place and vocation at a specific time can help providers feel a sense of purpose and commitment. However, for those whom this service has a deeper spiritual meaning, there may be a deeper sense of call that transcends these smaller calls and leads us into even greater service.
