Introduction

This article presents a practical model or method for dental and medical evangelism in foreign countries used most effectively to help establish and grow local churches. Of course, it is ultimately God who works in people’s lives to draw them to saving faith in Jesus Christ (John 6:44). No evangelistic formula or technique will save anyone. But God expects us to be wise, prepared, faithful servants when we take the gospel to another country.

The model for effectively using field teams of health professionals discussed below is a proven way to help fulfill our part of the Great Commission as we look to God to work a miracle in people’s hearts to draw them to salvation. Ideally, a missionary or national local church hosting a field team should be involved in all parts of the model. Where it cannot, the field team can fill in some of the gaps. But the best path to success is when national pastors and local church believers actively participate in each step of the process.
