Rehabilitating Wounded Soldiers:
On the Other Hand

On the other hand, hurting Christians who receive appropriate and compassionate care from their parish are much more likely to return to health and reengage in the mission of the church. Quite often, after receiving care during a time of crisis, they rebound with a newfound passion for serving God and the church.

One of the most gratifying transformations seen in Stephen Series congregations and parishes takes place when a Christian who has received care from a Stephen Minister during a time of crisis later recovers and feels a strong calling to be in ministry caring for others. Such wounded healers are a powerful force for bringing the love of Jesus to others in need. 20051016
