Health Is the Right Arm of the Gospel
“The medical missionary work has never been presented to me in any other way than as bearing the same relation to the work as a whole as the arm does to the body. The gospel ministry is an organization for the proclamation of the truth and the carrying forward of the work for sick and well. This is the body, the medical missionary work is the arm, and Christ is the head over all. Thus the matter has been presented to me.”
– Medical Ministry, pp. 237-238
Before people open their hearts to the gospel, they open their doors to someone who helped them. Health ministry is how we earn the right to share the truth.
