Keeping Workers Motivated and Effective

Global health does not stand still. The needs remain high, the priorities change, the field gets ever more complex. Deciding what's the most important way to contribute is a big challenge, whether we are students or experienced professionals or somewhere in between.And discerning our own gifts and how we can be of most use to God is most important of allWe will explore global health trends and the opportunites for people of faith aginst this background. I hope we will have an interactive session

Medical mission or what I prefer to call Health Care Mission remains a crucial issue for 21st century Christians.Yes, we need to be fully involved in medical missions but just as important, be effective as people of faith in secular environments where we can be agents of change and transformation.In this breakout session we will try to discern together how medical missions can help to become more grounded in the needs, realities and paradigms of today and not fight todays battles with yesterdays toolsWe will be concerating on primary health and community health perspectives
