Building Lasting Christian Community in Healthcare: When the Spirit Prompts You to Say Yes, with Drs. Shay Moore and Tony Kim
What happens when God calls you to serve—even when your medical career, family, and schedule already feel completely full? Dr. Shay Moore and Dr. Tony Kim weren’t looking for another responsibility. But when longtime Christian healthcare leaders Arnie and Lois Unfelt prepared to step away after 40 years of faithful ministry in Colorado Springs, God began bringing the right people together at exactly the right time. In this episode of Faith & Health Care, Shay and Tony share how prayer, Christian community, mentorship, and a willingness to say “yes” helped create a new chapter of ministry among healthcare professionals in Colorado Springs.

Beyond the Front Lines: Medicine Sees Image Bearers, Not Enemies
Our ministry serves through a community center in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley, in an area long known as a Hezbollah stronghold. Many of the families who come through our doors have been directly affected by the ongoing conflict. They have lost homes, jobs, and loved ones. They carry the visible wounds of war, but even more often, they carry the invisible ones.

In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, Dr. Lamb shares how missions transformed his faith, his practice, and even his family life. From his early career as an Army physician to his decades of service overseas, Dr. Lamb’s story is one of God’s power to change hearts through service. You’ll hear how missions shaped his role as a father, a mentor, and a servant leader, and how ordinary people — medical and non-medical alike — can join God’s work around the world. Whether you’re a healthcare professional or simply someone passionate about faith and service, this testimony will encourage you to live with a heart for Christ and a vision for others.

First Fruits and Capstone
The healthcare mission field stands at an important crossroads. Around the world, opportunities abound for fruitful ministry through healthcare missions. Healthcare professionals are desperately needed, and they can serve in places non-medical missionaries can’t serve. All too often, needs and opportunities go unmet. The doors will not remain open forever. As health systems around the world modernize, healthcare missions and missionaries become less necessary in the eyes of the host community, and the missionary’s witness and scope of influence are curtailed significantly.
