I am a Seventh-day Adventist head-and-neck surgical oncologist. Our church rightfully places significant emphasis on medical mission work. Jesus Himself was the Great Physician, and His healing ministry was an integral part of His soul winning. Certainly, medical ministries combined with the gospel truth lead many people to salvation.

Like a church, the halls of a hospital are often hallowed by God’s presence; and even when broken, the human body like “the heavens” still shouts out the glory of God.
