Serving Refugees and Caring for Victims of Humanitarian Disaster and War
Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons(IDP’s) face significant challenges to their health and well-being that are unique, due to lack of necessary resources including food, water, sanitation, shelter, security and healthcare. Caring for people in these situations requires an understanding of their unique needs as well as having realistic goals regarding what can and cannot be done for them. Recent experiences in providing healthcare missions in disasters in Nepal, Kurdistan and Turkey – both natural and manmade – highlight the need to be well prepared when serving in these difficult situations. Focus areas for the presentation and discussion will include team selection and preparation; travel and logistics issues; identifying and addressing the needs of the people being served, including physical, psychological and spiritual needs; partnering with other relief organizations and local authorities; and returning home successfully. We are called to serve the “least of these”, and the victims of disasters and crises certainly qualify. Often these events, though causing much hardship and suffering, create the possibility for doors and hearts to be open to the message of Jesus that otherwise would be closed. We must be both willing and well prepared if we are to serve well when we are called to respond to those in need.

From Vulnerable to Remarkable: Equipping Women for Sustainable Community Health and Development
Girls and women in developing communities are often vulnerable and overlooked. Their potential roles as key players in promoting spiritual and physical health in their communities can easily remain unrecognized. Medical Ambassadors International's mission is equipping communities for Christ-centered health and development, and the Women's Cycle of Life is a curriculum and training that directly addresses issues facing women spiritually, physically, socially, and financially. Working in tandem with Medical Ambassadors International's community health evangelism ministry, the Women's Cycle of Life curriculum & training equips women to take ownership of, and become key players in the well-being of their families and their communities. Women not only learn the spiritual and physical lessons for themselves, but they also learn to multiply the knowledge among their friends and neighbors. Their impact is remarkable!This presentation will provide participants with an overview of how Women's Cycle of Life (and Community Health Evangelism) training promotes health and development of the whole person and community. Specific case studies will be highlighted, showing the long-term impact of women who have been equipped, by God's grace, through Medical Ambassadors International and missions partners around the world.

Prayer as a Strategy
This survey was created by someone that God led on an amazing journey. In hindsight this person realizes they were on a quest. Their quest started with one goal, “To find a deeper, more intimate relationship with God—one in which they would be able to recognize God’s “still small voice.” Prior to The Quest, this person had been a fairly average Christian leader, with seasons of spiritual fervor and seasons that were spiritually dry. The questions in the survey fit in one of two categories. Some come from the issues this person began wrestling with that led them to embark upon The Quest. Others are inspired by all the things this person realized had changed or were changing as God led them in The Quest. Many have found taking this survey helps them to assess where they are spiritually in their relationship with God. It is a tool to help explore various facets of one’s relationship with God. The intent isn’t to compute an overall score, but to help people begin to identify where to focus attention for future growth. Its ultimate effectiveness is realized as people re-take the survey months and years later and compare themselves with where they were previously.

Common Ground/Common Good: Strengthening Relationships Between Faith-based Health Organizations and National Governments
Faith-based organizations provide up to 70% or more of healthcare in some countries. They often work in remote locations among neglected people without any access to healthcare. Should faith-based hospitals and health programs partner with local governments and other actors in the public sector? Will collaboration compromise witness and mission? Or can collaboration expand resources, opportunity and deepen impact of Kingdom work? This session will help us examine relationships and discover from a Kingdom perspective about the common ground/common good of working with local governments, Ministry of Health and other national organizations.

Balancing Competence & Compassion
Healthcare education and professional certification require core clinical competencies to be demonstrated before privileges are granted. In the midst of the endless cycle of healthcare training, experience, documentation and verification, there are ways to act with compassion. In global health we are called to balance competence through learning procedures, improving abilities, and honing skills, with compassion by doing what we can now to meet the immediate incredible needs before us.
