Christian Journal for Global Health
Research and Reflection in Christian Health Policy and Practice Worldwide
A peer-reviewed, open-access, scholarly and multidisciplinary journal on global health policy and practice, promoting evidence-based and thoughtful discussion on effective and innovative approaches to global health from an integrated Christian perspective.
In this evidence-driven age, funders, policy and practitioners seek reliable and timely information to justify initiatives and learn from the experience of others. Christian global health offers innovative solutions to many of the most vexing health challenges. Decades of practice in holistic health yield tremendous experience and research that is meaningful and powerful for improving lives. That collective knowledge base is largely untapped. There is no single place to submit, catalog or retrieve information about Christian experience in global health.
Since 2014, the Journal disseminates evidence-based best practices, improves understanding of intercultural work in the context of health, and increases world-wide exposure to the innovations, experiences and perspectives of global health workers.

II. Under Latest News -add the Meeting for Outlook Course & change CJGH is about to publish its latest issue tab use this:
Latest Issue on Palliative Care published Nov 2017: A profile of Christian faith-based responses to palliative care and end-of-life care from 3 continents, along with studies on FBO contributions to health care in Kenya, psychosocial disability, analysis of missionary recruitment, and ethical challenges of international family planning.
Due to be published in July 2018: Faith-based Engagement of the Global Refugee Crisis
The world is currently experiencing the worst refugee crisis in history. The United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) reports that there are 65 million displaced people globally due to persecution, war, famine or violence. Many face significant health challenges such as psychiatric disorders, infectious diseases and chronic disease in the host-country. Faith based organizations and churches are recognized as key elements in addressing this global crisis, and many have been advocates of “welcoming the stranger.”(Deut 10:19; Mat 25:34-40)

What is a Christian response to these populations scattered among many nations? What kinds of unique health concerns do they face? How can global health workers effectively cross cultures to address needs? What opportunities exist for respectfully demonstrating and proclaiming the gospel in these settings? What resources can be mobilized?
III. Hopefully more eyes will be on us as the Outlook Course is birthed. Be thinking about PUBLICITY at our CJGH Booth for the Outlook Course and Best Practices. And Another Pre-conference, and meetings.
