Spirituality and Medicine.

A fine topic, but an area of controversy and conflict. Many prefer to exclude spirituality from the practice of medicine, while others see it as an integral part of medicine and the medical practice. Divine healing of terminal cases like cancer, AIDS, has been recorded even by health practitioners.
What do you think? Should Spirituality be involved in Medicine? Or should it be relegated to the Churches? Your opinions are needed?

After Medicine, What's next?

As a Christian, this has been my question. Everyone around me has a field of choice already engraved in stone. Cardio-thoracic surgery, Neurosurgery in the States, Gynaecology in Australia...
Even summer practice is planned for great places. I'm not against this, but I feel Medicine is a GREAT tool in propagating the Gospel. If all our plans revolve around our dreams only, it would instead be seen as an end in itself. There are wonderful mission groups for students and young doctors that affords the opportunity to serve God with our Profession. When we graduate, and before we graduate, we should earnestly seek the face of God for directions in life.

Medical Doctors Confirm “Divine Healing” Cases at the 6th International Christian Medical Conference

The 6th International Christian Medical Conference was held at the President Hotel on October 30 and 31, 2009 under the auspices of Ukraine Organizing Committee of WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network), whose founder and board chairman is Dr. Jaerock Lee, an evangelical pastor and the author of many Christian titles including “The Power of God”(978-1554522576).


This 6th Conference was attended by 400 doctors and medical professionals from 30 nations including USA and Italy, and was represented by many medical doctors from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and many other Russian-speaking nations.

During the Conference, an Australian Doctor Irene Jacovou presented a healing case of a 68-year-old man, as the most outstanding case presented. In 2003, he was diagnosed to have severe emphysema, asthma and alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency, and had a bilateral lung transplant and received immunosuppressive therapy. In 2008, he noticed a skin lesion on the top of the right shoulder, which was later found to be a malignant tumor. He was diagnosed with skin cancer and was surgically treated, but it recurred. In October, 2008, cancer cells metastasized to chest and lungs, and he was sentenced to live just a few months longer because of this cancer. In winter of that same year he attended a Christian healing prayer meeting and tumor regression started. All the tumors in his skin were gone through fervent prayers, and the CT scan showed that lung metastases disappeared.

A Ukrainian Doctor Larisa presented the case of healing of hepatitis C, confirmed by the person of the case appearing at the conference firsthand and testifying to his healing. Another Australian doctor Mieke Kuiper presented the case of healing of eclampsia and subarachnoid hemorrhage by prayer. Two Korean doctors presented the cases of healing of the infected cystic mass in the submandibular area and the retroperitoneal necrotizing fascitis due to perforated acute appendicitis, with scientific and medical data confirming the healing cases. In addition, many cases of the healing of various diseases including schizophrenia, pancreonecrosis, and AIDS were presented at the conference.

Dan Wooding, Founder and International Director of Assist News Ministry said, “At the same time that Ukrainian candidates are battling each other for votes in the upcoming Presidential election, Christian doctors gathering in Kiev, the country’s capital for a “Spirituality and Medicine” conference, have already cast their vote–for “miracles.”

WCDN was organized to medically analyze divine healing cases performed by God, clarify the data before and after the healing and testify with that data as to existence of God and the authenticity of the Bible. WCDN aims to work with intellectual people including medical doctors and scientists. They have held annual international Christian medical conferences in Seoul, Korea, Chennai, India, Cebu City, Philippines, Miami, USA, Trondheim, Norway, Kiev, Ukraine. www.wcdn.org
