Pray for PSU-Hershey Lunch Lecture Prep
Posted by tom | Jan 31, 2012Prayer requests for upcomong lunch lecture preparations:
- 1/31: Lunch details to come together for serving food and spreading the word about our guest speaker Steve Noblett, the executive director for Christian Community Health Fellowship (CCHF).
- CCHF (http://www.cchf.org/) is a network of Christian physicians and other health professionals committed to living out the gospel through healthcare among the poor. There are over 300 Christian clinics located in medically underserved areas across the United States in the CCHF family. Many of those offer rotations and clinical experiences where students and residents not only learn the unique challenges of working with complex medical and cultural issues, but also get to see how providers are integrating faith and spiritual care into clinical primary care settings. CMDA has a close relationship with CCHF, and considers CCHF to be its primary domestic missions partner.
- Steve is a regular speaker at the Global Health Missions Conference, and various CMDA conferences and events. Steve lives in Memphis with his wife, Victoria, where they have worked for over 20 years with urban teens in severely under-resourced communities.
- 2/7: Lunch details to come together with Wenger Meats as Theresa and I will serve food with some friends from Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church.
- During the presentation time, Theresa will be interviewed by the PSU-Hershey CMS Chapter President regarding her reflections on health care and recommendations for future health care providers based upon her experiences with our family (loss of Elise Faith, my cancer/seizures, Eden's developmental delays).
- As you may have seen on Theresa's wall, she's asking for suggestions, so if you have material which you think should receive emphasis, drop her a note and/or post on her wall.Thank-you to those who have already responded to Theresa's request on her FB wall. Just taking the opportunity to spread the net out a little wider :)
- 2/14: Lunch details to come together as one of the physician couples who serve as informal advisors will partner with their local congregation in providing lunch.
- Kent Annan, author of two InterVarsity Press books and co-founder of Haiti Partners, will speak on After Shock: Searching for Honest Faith When Your World Is Shaken. For more on his visit to South Central PA visit 2/13: Helping Haiti/After Shock (6 pm, Elizabethtown Public Library). . . .
