Why?
After Jesus talks with the Samaritan woman

communicate with the witnesses they have trained. Global trainers can
communicate with regional trainers. And they can do it in 81 languages!
Training materials are available in 21 languages. Video refresher training,
news, stories and prayer are available to all the 11,000 trained
healthcare witnesses.
The Saline Online Community Goes Where We
Cannot Go!
Greetings in the Mighty Name of Jesus,
As I look back upon this year, I am immediately reminded of
your prayers, financial gifts and continual interest in the
work of IHS Global. It is with gratitude that I write.
We continue to utilize the amazing opportunities of indigenous
Christian healthcare workers to share the love and reality of
Jesus with patients around the world. Training continues in
cooperation with the International Saline Partnership.
We can invest much work and energy, but it is the movement of God that:
Raises up indigenous leaders and trainers,
Envisions healthcare workers and sets a fire beneath them, and
Keeps a covenant partnership of organizations working together.
Let me give you an example of God multiplying efforts. Rajan, a physician from
Sri Lanka (island south of India) came to India for training as a healthcare witness and
to be equipped as a trainer of healthcare witnesses. Soon after, he had the
opportunity to meet with ministry colleagues in Pakistan (northwest border of India).
While there, he trained healthcare workers in four different Christian hospitals.
Rajan is a member of our partner organization, Healthcare Christian Fellowship
International.
The work of IHS Global is expanding through:
Expansion initiatives in India, Sub-Sahara Africa and the Middle East in 2015,
Strategic planning by our indigenous leaders for expansion in Russia,
Expansion into Pakistan, Israel, Malawi, Ivory Coast, Ecuador this past year,
Plans for Australian and New Zealand leaders to reach throughout Oceania,
Continuing work in Central and South America, the Caribbean and Europe and
Several trainings in the U.S.
As I close, let me remind you of our gratitude. May you know the comfort of the Lord
