Mission history has been replete with an unfortunate tension between evangelism and social ministry. Obviously there have been those who have sought to proclaim the life-transforming message of the Gospel while ignoring the suffering and physical needs of their listeners. Likewise, there have been those who confined their witness to the good works they might do while never offering the recipients spiritual hope. Doctoring and church planting - Jesus practiced both. Preach and Heal explores the ideology and practical ways for balanced ministry so that you can effectively reach the lost.
