The living
conditions of
your target people group are deplorable, but they don’t know it...
It would be great if they
would get together and decide for themselves that “healthier is better...”
<>How do you explainthat “God is good” to someone who
doesn’t know “sin is bad?”
Where do you start?
Most
people in the West were brought up knowing right from wrong, good from bad, and
that God loves us. How do you
relate to a person whose point of view is completely foreign to your own?
Can you convince them that the filth, disease and poverty they see around
them are not the only way to live? How
do you introduce them to ideas of health, education, improved living conditions
and, eventually, a relationship with the Author of Life, if they see no need
for, or means of change?
Training
nationals in agriculture, sanitation, clean water supply, literacy, and
family-based businesses, as well as training them to train their neighbors is
what Community Health Evangelism (CHE) is all about.
The goal is to introduce people to the CHE concepts and to give them a
vision and the "how to's" for implementing and managing a program in
their community.
Community
Health Evangelism's concepts are based on the experience of Medical Ambassadors
International's 300 teams working in over 1,200 villages.
People from 260 CHE projects have been trained to have an integrated
community health and evangelism program, and they, in turn, have trained over
20,000 Community Health Evangelists (CHE's).
