GAHN's Virtual Health Summit Webinar #1

Do you believe in miracles? Does God use modern day science to heal the sick and afflicted? The Kingdom of God that Jesus preached often testify to the power of faith to physically heal the afflicted. How does our faith and belief in miracles of science translate to action in our healing professions now? Do we reach out now with the same compassion Jesus showed to those suffering? Join our panel of speakers, who represent organizations that provide support and treatment for people affected by leprosy. Participants will also have the opportunity to hear first hand testimonies of persons affected by leprosy, as we discuss modern day miracles and the compassionate touch that Jesus exemplified.
