EARLY BEGINNINGS

The Australian chapter of the Adventist Medical Evangelism Network (AMEN) was formed by a group of doctors, dentists, medical and dental students who felt the need to experience a personal revival of medical evangelism in life and practice, and were inspired by the vision and mission of AMEN in the US.

EARLY CHAPTERS

Our mission and objectives remain similar to the parent organisation, and we are grateful for the support and encouragement we have received from the Adventist Health Department in our Division; we look forward to working together collaboratively to see the fulfilment of our shared vision.

GROWTH OF AMEN

The Lord’s blessing on AMEN globally is being manifested in the following tangible ways:

AMEN members continue to be involved in overseas mission work in many places. AMEN’s international influence is growing – originally in the US (see amensda.org for details), it now includes chapters in Nigeria and the UK as well as Australia. Despite its growth and development, AMEN remains dedicated to its original goals – to inspire, equip, and motivate health professionals to become effective medical evangelists at home, in the clinic, and in the community.

OUR FRIENDS

Partnership in the mission for Christ embodies the essence of unity and collective purpose within the realm of faith. It reflects a harmonious alignment of hearts and minds among believers who share a common mission to spread the teachings of love, compassion, and redemption as exemplified by Christ. Such partnerships amplify the impact of individual efforts, as they foster collaborative endeavours that transcend geographical boundaries, cultural differences, and personal limitations. Grounded in the values of empathy and service, these partnerships enable the fulfillment of Christ’s teachings by jointly addressing societal needs, offering spiritual guidance, and extending a helping hand to the marginalized. Together, partners of AMEN in this sacred mission forge a powerful network of discipleship, extending the light of Christ’s message to touch lives and transform communities for the glory of God.
