One of the greatest challenges facing the church is the need for people everywhere to live healthy and fulfilling lives, which the Bible calls Shalom. Lausanne Health for All Nations wants to connect people for global mission around this issue by hosting a webinar on the topic ‘prevention of sexual abuse’.

Holistic health, or Shalom, was at the heart of Jesus’ ministry on earth, as we see from his integration of preaching, teaching, and discipleship together with deliverance and healing. Jesus cared for the whole person—body, soul, and spirit—within the social context of each individual, and he desired that his disciples around the world would continue this form of ministry.
Unfortunately, dualism (separation of our faith from the rest of our lives), as well as the reductionist attitude (exaggerated simplification of complex situations and phenomena) was adopted by the church and in the attitudes of many who deal with health, disease, and comprehensive care.
This series seeks to answer how Christians can recapture this integral and holistic calling, working in unity for the healing of nations.
