About the Event

In the world of healthcare missions, we often lead with our clinical credentials. We rely on our advanced degrees, technical expertise, and Western training to solve problems. But what happens when our expertise creates a barrier rather than a bridge?

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Kris Prenger, who brings nearly 30 years of experience in cross-cultural ministry and healthcare in Bangladesh. Kris will challenge the traditional "position of power" held by medical professionals and offer a framework for building trust that starts with humility.

We will explore why "quality care" must be defined by the worldview of those we serve, and how understanding the "excluded middle"—the spiritual realities of illness and healing—is essential for the Gospel to truly sound like Good News.

What We’ll Discuss:

• The Three Layers of Trust: Moving from the reputation of the institution to a personal witness, and ultimately, to a trust in Christ alone.
• Healing in Context: Why we must understand a culture’s view of illness—including spiritual power encounters—to provide effective care.
• Paradigm Shift: Moving from a position of "competent expert" to a "humble servant" who joins the conversation the Holy Spirit is already having.
• The "Place of Light": Lessons from Bangladesh on how prayer and presence can be more powerful than technology in the eyes of a community.

Who Should Attend?
