- HEALTH DEPARTMENT (Return)
The health work, according to the testimonies, is the right arm of the message. The right arm should not be carried in a sling. In this, Christ is ur perfect example. Jesus spent more time healing the sick than preaching.
The Health Department:
1) Disseminates counsel, gives medical help, assists in the preparation of medical missionaries, and uses its opportunities to preach the gospel;
2) Seeks individuals who can cooperate in the medical branch of evangelism in order to advance medical missions in the different lands and continents;
3) Encourages development of health departments in the unions and fields; it is to be informed about the progress and development of the health work in the various territories;
4) Promotes preparation of medical health literature so the literature evangelism work can have such literature;

6) Exerts efforts to see that more young people are educated in the medical health sector and motivated to cooperate in God's work;
