Living Among Those We Serve Incarnational Ministry at Esperanza Health Center

Published: July 13, 2012, 1:34 p.m.

b'Health Care ministry in inner city neighborhoods must be incarnational \\u2013 embracing our communities. Living, working and serving within the context of the community we serve draws us toward God\\u2019s love for people and helps us identify with our neighbors. Should one try to move into communities of poverty in order to serve there? How can we encourage those who grew up in our communities to stay to serve God within the context of their lives? This workshop will explore Christ\\u2019s healing ministry among those he came to serve. Two of Esperanza Health Center\\u2019s leaders will share their experiences and vision for health care ministry as one who relocated into North Philadelphia and one who grew up in North Philadelphia. We need one another to be able to gain a more complete vision for effective Christ-centered health care ministry.
