Beyond Medicine: What Else You Need to Know to Be a Healthcare Missionary

What I didn't realize initially was that learning to practice medicine overseas was
the easy part….; As a first year medical missionary in Kenya, Dr. David Stevens was
prepared and well-trained to use his medical skills to help serve and care for the needy
people in Africa. But his years spent in medical school and family practice residency
certainly didn't prepare or train him for the myriad of other responsibilities he faced
governance, management, administration, recruitment, community health, spiritual
ministry, development, staff discipline, fundraising, and the list goes on and on.
As a healthcare missionary in today's landscape, the success of your ministry depends
on your ability to manage the non-medical tasks you encounter each and every day.
Dr. Stevens uses his own personal experiences, expertise and insight to guide you
through these topics and many others. With easy-to-use principles and practical advice
designed to inspire and encourage you as you carry out your call in service to the
Lord, this book is a must-have resource to help you go BEYOND MEDICINE.
