The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.

The term iatrogenesis comes from the Greek and literally means "originating with the healer." It refers to anytime a healer (doctor or psychiatrist) ends up harming a patient during treatment. You probably have heard of a person going in for an operation to remove something like a spleen, and the doctor made a mistake and took out a kidney.
This same type of thing can happen when we are dealing with psychological or mental issues too. There is no doubt that talk therapy can help some people, and sometimes even medication can help with serious mental issues, but mistakes can also be made.
