As a registered nurse, Tori Wentz fulfills her calling through providing medical care and training in some of the world’s impoverished areas.
With a background in hospice, her work often focuses on bringing palliative care philosophies to people in countries where early diagnosis and treatment of diseases like HIV/AIDS and cancer are limited by poverty and a lack of medical resources.
“When Jesus healed, he did not do so from a distance,” Wentz said. “He reached out and touched [people], even those considered outcasts. That is the focus of my ministry … being the presence of Christ to those who fear that God might not want to have anything to do with them.”
