Community Health & Optical Training

This week of training aims to equip students with essential knowledge of health and hygiene, as well as important medical skills. Students will learn how to accurately measure blood pressure and vital signs, care for wounds, perform infant resuscitation, and test vision to determine basic prescription requirements for eyeglasses. The goal of this training is to prepare students for upcoming outreach programs in other countries, where they will serve as trainers for local workers. These workers will then use the skills acquired during this training to promote evangelism and improve community health.

Classes are held at CompassionLink, 415 E. Chestnut Expressway, Springfield, MO, from September 22 to 26, 2025, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with lunch provided.

Community Health Evangelism Foundations

Every training event is unique because of the gifted people God puts together for these few days. Sessions are interactive and rely on the insights of the participants. This three-day event will focus on the foundational principles of Community Health Evangelism. We will be discussing the Biblical instructions to care for, love and disciple people in every part of their lives. Topics include community ownership, community assessment, participatory learning, asset-based community development and much more. We will discuss how CHE can be used as an “operating system” for mission's organizations.  


Training is held at CompassionLink, 521 W Lynn Street, Springfield, MO 65802.
