The mission of Christian Connections for International Health is to promote international health and wholeness from a Christian perspective. CCIH provides field-oriented information resources and a forum for discussion, networking, and fellowship to the spectrum of Christian organizations and individuals working in international health.

 
CCIH is...
… discussion of new aspects of Christian healing ministries
… networking and partnership building with  international partners
...a forum for sharing information
...innovative, practical and technologically state-of-the-art approaches to global health nurtured by Christian values
...a way to connect with secular professional organizations and to promote Christian health programs with them
 
...research and discussion on compelling issues in Christian international health

 

CCIH began in 1987 as a forum for Christian agencies and individuals concerned about international health to discuss areas of mutual interest.  It serves all Christians, as it:

  • facilitates networking among Christian programs and individuals working internationally.
  • relates to secular, professional and government international health organizations.
  • shares information, experiences and learning from one another.
  • seeks ways to promote interagency cooperation and partnership.
  • develops relationships with religious and secular organizations with common interests.
  • raises awareness and addresses key international health issues facing the Christian community at large.
  • provides field-oriented information resources and a forum for discussion.
  • promotes Christian health work in developing countries, focusing on national and indigenous programs.
  • fosters the nurture and renewal of Christians working in international health, and fellowship among them.

 
 

Workshops and Seminars:

CCIH organizes occasional workshops and seminars and participates in others to facilitate networking among Christians and between the Christian international health community and the larger world of governments, donors, professional and international institutions. 

Primarily through email, the CCIH Executive Director draws on CCIH’s extensive database of 1500 members and friends in 100 countries to link individuals and groups with others sharing common interests and objectives to the mutual benefit of all.
