March 26, 2025 The Impact of Global Trends on Cross-Cultural Missions
Join us for a dynamic and engaging 2-hour interactive workshop exploring "The Impact of Global Trends on Cross-Cultural Missions."

This session will delve into key global trends—such as technological advancements, geopolitical shifts, migration patterns, and cultural changes—that significantly influence the landscape of global gospel proclamation. Through a balanced mix of insightful presentations, collaborative table discussions, and lively group interactions, participants will examine both the opportunities and challenges these trends present to missionary work.

Together, we will think deeply about strategic adaptations and innovative approaches to position ourselves and our ministries effectively for the future. This workshop is designed to foster a shared learning environment where we can collectively discern how to navigate and lead through an ever-evolving global context.

Becoming involved in healthcare education can provide a way for healthcare workers and laypersons to be part of a strategic plan to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Learn about this exciting opportunity to meet the needs of communities, build relationships and lasting partnerships, and show the love of Jesus.

March 12, 2025 Honor Shame Dynamics: How to serve effectively
In Honor-Shame cultures, people can misinterpret and see in our actions merit making, proselytization or apostasy, however pure our motivation may be. We will look at honor-shame based worldviews, come to understand how people may interpret what we do and look at risks and practices that may help us show and share God’s love appropriately. The workshop will use observations from relief and urban poor work in SE Asia. Application is relevant both overseas or close to home.

February 19, 2025 Finding and Following God's Call
In healthcare there is a need for motivated and passionate leadership. Having a sense of "call" to a specific place and vocation at a specific time can help providers feel a sense of purpose and commitment. However, for those whom this service has a deeper spiritual meaning, there may be a deeper sense of call that transcends these smaller calls and leads us into even greater service.

February 11, 2025 Mentoring for Future Healthcare Missionaries
In a brilliant editorial by Ralph Winter over 20 years ago, he wrote that of all those “called” into missionary service only 1 of 100 make it! Why? Because of the lack of mobilizers, or mentors. This breakout session will consider the WHY, WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN & HOW of mentoring. What is it? Who and what needs to be mentored? And, how can you find the resources that are available? Join us to hear stories, learn insights and focus on your desire to journey with God and to ultimately glorify Him through your medical (healthcare) mission ministry. This session will describe the WHY, WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN & WHY of mentoring.
