Two thirds of medical schools in the US including Harvard and Johns Hopkins
offer courses on spirituality and faith in their curriculums largely because
patients are demanding more spiritual care. According to a Newsweek poll,
84% of Americans said that praying for others can have a positive effect
on their recovery.
Along this line of thought, a group of Christian medical doctors have
started a movement called WCDN for world Christian doctors network which
intends to tackle issues on spirituality in the context of a Christian
medical practitioner, with its main intention, to influence and equip
Christian doctors by sharing the goodness of Christ in the form of proclaiming
the gospel principally through the healing ministry. Searching for cases
of divine healing with verified medical evidence is made and presented
in international conferences each year. Experts likewise discuss certain
issues relevant to a Christian doctor. Giving testimonies by Christian
doctors, who by virtue of their profession are more credible witnesses
to patients as well as to their colleagues, is a main strategy, and cases
healed through faith and prayer with direct clear medical evidence are
presented in their testimonies.
During the walk of Jesus here on earth, a major strategy He used to proclaim
His Lordship was to heal the sick. It is our role as His expert witnesses
to testify to the works of healing by the Power of God with verified medical
data, therefore giving the glory to our Father God who is the Almighty
and to Him who is the Healer, the Lord Jesus.
