Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.
2 Corinthians 1:3 – 4, NRSV

We live in a hurting, broken world. But Scripture reminds us that God comforts us in relief of suffering. Throughout His ministry Jesus encourages us to reach out to all nations, sharing the goods news of His unending love. Healing of the nations is about fulfilling this calling. Whether through our daily interactions with people or by participating in a short-term mission experiences in other countries, we can live the gospel.
