About SHINE Global Ministry
SHINE Global Ministry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in the year 2015 with a goal of equipping people to integrate the science and art of healing with the three angels’ messages. Our philosophy of healing is centered around what we’ve coined the Seven Tenets of Integrated Gospel Health Evangelism.
Seven Tenets of Integrated Gospel Health Evangelism
The following tenets are fundamental to the practice of integrated gospel health evangelism:
We believe that, when the body is given an environment that is conducive to wholeness, God imparts His life-giving power in response to a living faith in Him as Healer.
While we desire to banish sickness and alleviate suffering, as people who believe in the hope of a better life to come, the salvation of the soul is our highest priority.
While we aim to provide symptomatic relief for acute concerns, we strive to do more. We seek out and address the cause of every ailment, thus removing the foundation for sickness and helping clients regain and maintain health.
In the event of sickness, we recommend the least invasive measures first. This includes recommending lifestyle changes and the use of rational methods that minimize the possibility of harmful side effects and help restore homeostasis within the body. In cases that are refractory to lifestyle changes and rational methods, more invasive measures may be taken by the appropriate professional.
Humans were created as integrated beings; therefore, each aspect of humanity—physical, mental/emotional, spiritual, and social—affects the others. Consequently, an imbalance in any facet of our being could manifest as physical illness. In seeking to spread wholeness throughout the earth, we emphasize the restoration of health in all areas of humanity.
We do our best to avoid acting unadvisedly or in an uninformed manner. When uncertain, we seek counsel from more experienced peers. We inform ourselves of and educate others concerning contraindications and potential side effects. Additionally, we encourage clients to speak with their primary care providers before incorporating changes. We uphold the law in all matters that do not violate the Bible and conscience.
Our work is primarily educational. We seek to educate those around us and empower them to make healthier lifestyle choices. We aim to relieve suffering and spread wholeness, hope, and holiness throughout the earth. In doing so, we respect the choices of our clients and do our best to support them, irrespective of their belief systems and health and lifestyle choices. We treat each of our clients as individuals and seek to address their concerns in the way that is most suitable for their case.
Our Ministry Trajectory
My husband and I started SHINE Global Ministry in 2015. At that time, our ministry was focused on in-person gospel health evangelism. In 2016, we were primarily involved in the preaching of an evangelistic series. We were also involved in health education, a community-facing health exposition, and Bible worker training. In 2017, we transitioned our energy toward building our private practice and preparing content for our first online Gospel Health Evangelism training course. We started the SHINE Educational Institute and launched our first course, Foundations of Gospel Health Evangelism. From 2018 to today, we’ve continued to educate people through our online course and to use naturopathic, integrative, and functional approaches to help patients optimize their physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. We’ve done so through the two medical practices we’ve been privileged to build.
“…It is the Lord’s purpose that His method of healing without drugs shall be brought into prominence in every large city through our medical institutions….” —Medical Ministry, p. 325.
Inspired by this quotation, our ministry is currently working on a virtually-delivered program (with a long-term goal of having in-person options) that trains established healthcare professionals in the judicious use of natural therapeutics, a functional approach to healthcare, and the use of the healing art as an entering wedge for the three angels’ messages. We are simultaneously working on another program that provides comprehensive scientific and Bible-based training to lay-people. This program will equip them to become certified medical or dental assistants. It will enable them to make a living while working alongside gospel workers and licensed healthcare professionals as integral members of city missions.
In this way, we intend to cooperate with God in the production of appropriately trained workers who are able to use our message of healing as God has ordained that it be used—to reach souls for Him. By His grace and in His power, we believe we will see God’s method of drugless healing brought into prominence in every city through our medical institutions in our lifetime. While this is certainly our passion, progress toward the creation of this program has not been as fast as we would like due to our other responsibilities (e.g., work, parenthood, school, etc.). If you have talents or other resources that you believe could help accelerate the creation of this program, please reach out to us. We would love to connect!
