Description:

Jeremy Courtney "Restoring Hearts in Iraq"

Underwritten by Spectrum Health

If performing heart surgery isn't difficult enough, try doing it in the war-torn country of Iraq. Jeremy Courtney is the executive director of Preemptive Love Coalition, a non-profit that provides medical training for Iraqi physicians and heart surgeries for children in Iraq.  He makes a compelling case for extending a helping hand first and asking questions later. In the process of mending hearts, he is mending cultural discord, unmaking violence, and living out the call of Jesus to be a peacemaker.
