Remedy 2018 Conference Program by Christian Medical & Dental Associations

Welcome to

REMEDY We are so glad you made the decision to join us at First Baptist Orlando this weekend. REMEDY is designed to help you to discover avenues of service in God’s kingdom and be inspired by experienced and passionate servants of Christ who have made missional living the central theme of their careers. You will learn about practical ways to use your training, passion and gifting as you serve in healthcare missions in the future. At Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), our mission is to motivate, educate and equip Christian healthcare professionals to glorify God. We believe healthcare missionaries are amazingly effective and powerful at accomplishing just that. We have invited speakers and exhibitors who are excellent ambassadors and communicators in their areas of global healthcare missions to share with you. We want to thank the leadership and staff of First Baptist Orlando for their welcome and hospitality. They have been enthusiastic, supportive and generous in opening their beautiful facility AND offering the help of volunteers to make this weekend a success. We also want to thank Mr. Will Rogers and the team at MedicalMissions.com for their help over the last two years as we planned and prepared. The Global Missions Health Conference (GMHC) team members in Louisville have been a huge help to us in this process. They played a key role in developing the website and as advisers and co-planners with us. Just a word about the logo for Remedy, designed by Jason Stevens. The circular symbol is from the fourth century AD Greek letters Chi (χ) Rho (ρ), which early Roman Christians placed on tombs and in prominent places to identify themselves with Christ, their King and Savior. It also reminds us of the familiar Rx we use in medicine to prescribe a drug or a healing remedy. Jesus Christ IS the remedy who brings healing for the sins of the nations. The prophet Jeremiah declared, “Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise” (Jeremiah 17:14, NIV 1984). During this conference, our prayer is that you will hear the voice of God’s Spirit and be willing to be sent to “...preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick” (Luke 9:2, NIV 1984) just as Jesus’ disciples were sent out. What an incredible privilege we have in healthcare with the capacity to heal, teach and bring spiritual transformation all in one encounter, just as our Lord Jesus did. No matter where you are in your journey with Christ or in healthcare, we pray God will use what you discover and experience here at REMEDY: HEALING FOR THE NATIONS to help you prepare for future ministry in healthcare missions to HIS ULTIMATE GLORY. Fanning the flame until He comes to get us,

Mike Chupp, MD CMDA Executive Vice President

#Remedy2018

e’ve gathered here this weekend because we each share a deep passion to save the world for Christ.

Through medical missions, God is bringing His REMEDY for disease to the world. And because of the skills He gives us, God is using each one of us to bring His REMEDY to a world that is riddled with disease and sin. This conference will tell you what it takes to serve Christ on the mission field—whether that’s at home in your local community, in a third-world country for a long-term career or somewhere in between. So get ready for REMEDY, and be prepared for God to open your heart to His calling and His passion for your life.

Extending Surgical Care Beyond Your Training Comfort Zone Mike Chupp, MD, and Russ White, MD Faith Hall 301 B

Session Information Not every medical missionary, whether a surgeon or non-surgeon, readily accepts the challenge to tackle surgical cases that fall outside that physician or dentistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formal training. On the other hand, there are doctors who pursue developing world medicine as missionaries because of the expectation that they will be able to practice surgery involving the â&#x20AC;&#x153;skin and its contents.â&#x20AC;? How aggressive should any medical missionary be in tackling procedures that are necessary, possibly even urgent or emergent, whether lifesaving or not? This talk, given by two veteran missionary surgeons from Tenwek Hospital, one from an academic background and the other from a community training program, will cover principles to be considered when faced with such cases in different medical missionary hospital settings. Treating patients and their families with respect and full disclosure of surgeon and institutional experience while understanding the financial and logistical challenges of referral to specialists, usually at great distance from the mission hospital, are critical elements for medical missionaries. We will discuss options for seeking expert opinion and consultation to strengthen the quality of care in even the most rural surgical setting. Objectives 1. Discuss the usual mix of surgical cases in a rural, developing world mission hospital. 2. Identify the key issues involved in a decision for any medical missionary performing new surgical procedures for which they have not received formal training within their institution versus referral to a larger facility or specialist. 3. Describe options for seeking specialty consultation to assist in making referral or intervention decisions for surgery. 4. List the challenges or barriers faced by patients in pursuing specialty care in the developing world.

#Remedy2018

Playing God and Other Ethical Issues in Missions David Stevens, MD, MA (Ethics) Faith Hall 301 C

Session Information There isn’t any guidance available in the literature on the clinical ethical challenges doctors face working in remote areas in developing countries where resources are extremely limited but the needs are almost unlimited. This lecture, using real-life examples, will examine the practical application of the ethical principles of non-malfeasance, benevolence, autonomy and justice in these difficult situations. It will guide you through challenging decisions as you serve in short-term or long-term missions. Objectives 1. Articulate the type of ethical issues you could face in a missionary medical practice. 2. Apply one of the four major ethical principles in resource-limited situations.

The Biblical Basis of Missions Joshua Bogunjoko, MD Faith Hall 301 D

Session Information Biblical missions is a response to a God of Love who invited us into an eternal relationship with Himself and made it possible through Christ. He commissioned us to invite the rest of the world into the same relationship with Him through the gospel. In this workshop, we will explore and examine together the biblical basis of missions, focusing on the mission of God as also the mission of the church and the mission of the individual members of Christ’s body. We will examine biblical narratives and commands that guide our conclusions of what God is doing in the world and why we should participate in what God is doing. We will highlight the incredible honor it is for the God of heaven and earth to commit to frail humans like us His eternal purpose of reconciling the world to Himself. Objectives 1. Gain insight into God’s heart for the nations and God’s desire that all may hear the Good News of great joy in Christ. 2. Understand the need to be fully engaged in local and global missions. 3. Understand how medical missions fit into the overall purpose of God in global missions.

Remedy Medical Missions Conference

Should Muslims Who Enter the Kingdom Through Jesus Remain Muslim? Nathan J’Diim Faith Hall 346

Session Information Should Muslims who enter the kingdom through Jesus remain Muslim? Whether or not they should, they are! Tens of thousands of Muslims from diverse corners of the Muslim world are transferring allegiance from Mohammed and his book to Messiah Jesus and His kingdom of grace, while remaining part of the Uma of Islam (their Muslim Community). Objectives You will hear their stories of following Jesus as a “born again” Muslim. You’ll also find answers to some nagging questions: 1. (A question Western Christians most often ask): Are these “Muslim Believers” orthodoxic? Do they ascribe to our creeds? Do they affirm all the Bible teaches about Jesus? 2. (A question Western Christians seldom ask…of ourselves or others): Are these “Muslim Believers” orthopraxic? Do they follow Jesus as Lord and live/obey all that Jesus commanded?

Lessons Learned on Being a Missionary Nurse Grace Tazelaar, RN Faith Hall 350

1 Hour CE

Session Information This workshop will explore the relationship between missions and health from a missionary nursing perspective. We will consider how worldview influences the understanding of both the gospel and health messages. Objectives 1. Discuss the role of healthcare in the mission endeavor. 2. Describe how addressing spiritual needs is related to the gospel. 3. Discuss how understanding the differences and similarities in worldviews impact healthcare practice and receptivity to the gospel message.

#Remedy2018

Marketplace Workers: Can They Make a Difference? Larry McCrary Faith Hall 356

1 Hour CE

Session Information Serving over 15 years in international missions as a vocational missionary, Larry has learned that some of the best missionaries are actually marketplace workers who have been able to work in the marketplace overseas. They often are able to create unique mission opportunities with their creative access to people. They have instant credibility to the people as marketplace professionals, giving them a legitimate reason in being in country. They have financial sustainability in being paid and not having to raise support. Objectives 1. Describe the unique opportunities and advantages that a medical professional has in participating in marketplace missions. 2. Discuss five important components of a marketplace worker.

Suturing for Non-surgeons Sam Powdrill, PA Faith Hall 372

Session Information This workshop is designed to help those who would like to learn to suture or have had some suturing experience. The participant is introduced to wound preparation and basic suturing principals with an opportunity to practice several suturing methods, suture material and knots primarily using instrument ties. Several areas related to wound closure are also discussed, including a brief overview of local anesthetic use. Objectives 1. Introduce participants to basic wound closure and management of lacerations and surgical wounds. 2. Discuss the main principles of suture management including instruments, sterile field, types of needles and closure technique. 3. Give participants the opportunity to have hands-on experience in using suture materials to close wounds in various ways, using a variety of suturing techniques.

Remedy Medical Missions Conference

Plenary Session 2 Friday, March 23 • 1:30 p.m. • Worship Center

Michael D. Johnson, MD, FACS Dr. Johnson received his medical degree from University of Michigan. In 1984, he and his wife went on their first mission trip to Zaire. Three years later, the Lord called them to longterm missions in Kenya. For the next 23 years, they worked full-time in Kenya. Since returning to Philadelphia in 2010, they began the Miriam Medical Clinics offering hope and healing to the city’s underserved.

Session Information All of us who claim Christ are guilty of making the cultural context priority. It is our sin nature. We create dysfunction as we cling to our ethnicity, skin color and political division. This makes our presentation of Christ anemic and without effect and, worse yet, gives the enemies of the cross reason to reject our Savior.

Justice in Healthcare Rick Donlon, MD Faith Hall 301 B

Session Information Justice and equity are prominent and recurring themes in both the Old and New Testaments. Jesus began His ministry by preaching from Isaiah 61 (“good news to the poor...freedom for prisoners...release of the oppressed”) and ended it with warnings about judgment for those who ignore “the least of these.” Healthcare, in America and the rest of the world, seldom mirrors God’s concern for justice and equity. Christians have a remarkable opportunity to display the glory and kingdom of God by fighting healthcare injustice. Objectives 1. Describe the biblical imperative to work for justice. 2. Describe the depth of existing healthcare injustice. 3. List meaningful strategies to work for healthcare justice.

10 Questions Everyone Asks About Long-term Missions David Stevens, MD, MA (Ethics) Faith Hall 301 C

Session Information What are the answers to the 10 most common questions those considering missionary service ask? From, “How to know God’s will?” to “How to pick a missionary organization? and from “What about raising my kids overseas? to “How do I avoid burnout?” this talk using real-life stories will give practical answers to help you as you pray about long-term service. Objectives 1. Identify the barriers healthcare professionals face when they consider practicing in a missionary setting. 2. Break through these barriers to be able to practice in resource-limited healthcare arenas.

#Remedy2018

The Future of Medical Missions Joshua Bogunjoko, MD Faith Hall 301 D

Session Information Is God done with medical missions? Does the world still need medical missionaries? Where is medical missions headed? In this workshop, we will consider the question, “Why medical missions?” We will also examine the historical impact and current realities of medical missions. We will look at the importance of medical missions in the overall global mission. We will consider examples of what medical missions has been and what is likely to be the future and impact of medical missions. We will examine such issues as medical services, patient care and the challenges presented in resource-scarce contexts, staff development and particularly self-reproduction through medical training. Dr. Bogunjoko will share from his own experience of the impact of medical training by missionaries on local medical staff and its impact beyond the confines of their training institutions. Objectives 1. Gain an understanding of the reason for medical missions, as well as an insight into various historical impacts of medical missions and an overview of the role of medical missions within global missions. 2. Be equipped to evaluate different examples of medical missions and what the future direction of medical missions is likely to be. 3. Understand some of the issues that have, and still are, impacting medical missions, such as patient care, workload and the challenges of scarce resources and trained staff.

Medical and Surgical Education as a Primary Tool in the Medical Missionary Toolbox Russ White, MD Faith Hall 346

Session Information Jesus spent the majority of His time with 12 disciples who were destined to take His gospel into all the world. This model of exponential multiplicity should be our pattern for modern medical missions. In this session, we will look at issues such as the vast disparity in healthcare professionals between high income countries, and lower and middle income countries (LMICs). Furthermore, we will examine the recent trend which has made “global medicine” in general, and “global surgery” in particular to be of broad interest to physicians and surgeons in the U.S. We will consider the phenomenon of “brain drain” and discuss strategies of strengthening the development of healthcare infrastructure within LMICs. Dr. White will discuss the growth of Tenwek Hospital in Kenya over the last 20 years to its position now of being one of the premier providers of medical and surgical education in the region. Objectives 1. Evaluate demographic patterns in worldwide distribution of healthcare professionals. 2. Evaluate various strategies aimed at improving healthcare provision in LMICs. 3. Evaluate the options for both short-term and long-term missions in strengthening the worldwide healthcare force.

Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts of Medical Missions John Cropsey, MD Faith Hall 350

Session Information Cross-cultural medical ministry is a beautiful thing. What could possibly go wrong? John wants to tell you! With 15+ years of experience growing up and serving at mission hospitals, John’s made a lot of mistakes and witnessed a few as well. After interviewing multiple veteran medical missionaries, John wants to share 10 insights on how to set yourself, your colleagues and your national partners up for success. Why learn the hard way? Those who’ve gone before you have already done that so you don’t have to! This breakout is perfect for anyone headed into medical missions, be it short-term, mid-term or long-term. Objectives 1. Understand the heart-level adjustments and frame of mind required to productively engage in medical care and cross-cultural relationships in the mission hospital setting. 2. Be aware of common pitfalls made by short-term and long-term missionaries. 3. Understand how one’s faith informs the mission experience where one will be faced with advanced presentation of pathology in the setting of severe resource limitations and crippling poverty.

How to Effectively Share Our Faith While Providing U.S. Healthcare Walt Larimore, MD Faith Hall 356

Session Information These principles from Saline Solution and Grace Prescriptions have been taught and utilized in more than 60 countries and in a wide variety of healthcare settings. An overview of providing spiritual care and building a spiritual team with which to provide it in a wide variety of clinical settings is provided by the author of CMDA’s Saline Solution and Grace Prescriptions. Objectives 1. Review spiritual interventions that health professionals can have available in their “spiritual black bag.” 2. Review principles of setting up a spiritual care team in clinical care.

God’s Guidance and the Call Mike Chupp, MD Faith Hall 301 B

Session Information One of the most common questions asked by Christian healthcare professionals who are focused on a life of service in obedience to God, whether in training or graduates, is, “How do I determine if God is calling me to serve short-term or long-term in medical missions?” There are certainly no textbook formulas or algorithms for determining a calling to missionary medical service. This talk will focus on biblical principles for determining God’s leading in our lives as healthcare professionals and how they relate to deciding if domestic or international mission ministry is God’s will for us. Several examples of modern day medical missionaries and their stories of determining God’s clear direction for their lives will be discussed. Objectives 1. Define and describe the “call” on a believer’s life. 2. Describe common misunderstandings of how healthcare professionals determine God’s direction and plan for their lives. 3. Identify key biblical principles for Christian healthcare professionals to follow in order to determine God’s call and will for their lives, especially as it relates to medical missions. 4. Assist participants in pursuing a life-long journey of seeking God’s guidance and obeying His will for their lives.

Cultural Humility Rebekah Naylor, MD, FACS Faith Hall 301 C

Session Information This session will seek to answer the following question: how do we provide healthcare and present the gospel cross-culturally while avoiding attitudes of superiority, ethnocentrism and paternalism? Objectives 1. Define terms including culture, ethnocentrism and paternalism. 2. Use the definitions of culture, ethnocentrism and paternalism in the context of cross-cultural communication and work. 3. Identify examples of cultural humility in Scripture. 4. List specific ways to exhibit cultural humility in real-life situations.

From Community Health to Community Transformation V. Chen, MD, MPH Faith Hall 301 D

Session Information Many pursuing God’s call to healthcare missions and community health are motivated by the desire to see people transformed by the gospel spiritually and physically. Can the gospel not only transform individual lives but entire communities, “that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10)? Yes! In this session, we will study several examples from different cultural contexts to see how transformational community development can empower communities to use their own God-given creativity and resources to find long-term, local solutions to positively impact community health. Objectives 1. Develop a framework of wholistic health and integral mission. 2. Understand foundational principles and processes of the Community Health Evangelism approach. 3. Examine several practical case examples of community transformation from a community health and wholistic discipleship perspective.

1 Hour CE

From Surviving to Thriving: Finding Peace in the Chaos of Missional Living Daniel Tolan, MD Faith Hall 346

Session Information Is it possible to be surrounded by need, chaos and uncertainty and yet still thrive in missional living? How? Is it a matter of balance or is it more? This is an important concept and question for you and for your current or future family. Missional living, by nature, brings both times of surviving and times of thriving. It is unavoidable. However, living in constant survival mode leads to discouragement and disillusionment in ministry. Those in healthcare missions are especially predisposed to feeling this way. Why does this happen? Is some of this self-imposed? What can and should we do in order to spend most of our time actually thriving? Where are those areas of our lives we should pay more attention to so we are not always in survival mode? Missional living creates imbalance. In the midst, we can thrive and know peace. There are actions to take, safeguards to put in place and attitudes to adopt towards thriving and knowing peace amidst the chaos. Objectives 1. List three major obstacles to thriving in missional healthcare missions. 2. Discuss a “balanced life” and ask if it is a valid concept. 3. Describe five themes in thriving during ministry. 4. Describe one or two personal practices you want to focus on in the coming year. #Remedy2018

Describe a biblical basis for active engagement in preventing gender-based violence and human trafficking. 2. Describe the global health burden of violence against women. 3. Define the global impact of human trafficking. 4. Use a public health approach to prevention strategies for human trafficking and violence against women.

Interserve USA interserveusa.org

Interserve began in 1852 in South Asia to care for the poor and marginalized so they could encounter Jesus and experience the life that He wanted for them. God has kept our founderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision alive all these years. Jesus Christ shapes how we see our place in a broken and suffering world. We see broken relationships, dashed expectations, lying, jealousy, manipulation, blame, shame, misogyny, and murder. This brokenness and suffering pains the heart of Jesus and the Father. Many have never had the opportunity to know that their lives can be different. Jesus has asked us to go and work alongside them so that they may have the opportunity to hear about Him and ascend, not only out of the abyss of poverty and oppression but also into His holy and transforming presence. Jesus inspires and directs us. We are willing to follow wherever He leads, often into hard areas. He gives us the grace to go and do what needs to be done in these areas.

I-TEC

itecusa.org

I-TEC supports the Great Commission by assisting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hiddenâ&#x20AC;? church in its journey toward independence under the lordship of Jesus Christ. One of the great barriers that has prevented indigenous churches from growing to maturity is their continuing dependence on the welfare of outsiders. A native church that relies on the leadership, technology and financial support of foreign missionaries rarely can stand on its own when that support is withdrawn. We are convinced from the Scriptures, however, that the goal of the Great Commission is to establish churches that are self-supporting, self-governing and self-propagating.

LUCOM is developing protracted clinical rotation sites for student-doctors and the faculty in Guatemala and other locations around the world. Additional global locations will be announced when those sites are established.

Serge means “joining together rough edges to form a smooth seam.” We see God weaving together the ragged parts of our lives with His goodness, making the tattered beautiful. This is the power of the gospel at work in and through us, transforming our weakness and the world’s brokenness—God’s grace at the fray. Core to Serge is the belief that we need the gospel as much as anyone else. So as we seek to make the gospel known to others, we desire for this same grace to continually renew our lives.

Southwestern Medical Clinic

lakelandhealth.org/southwestern-medical-clinic

It all started in the early 1960s when the dream became a reality for a group of five Christian physicians practicing in rural southwest Michigan who had a heart for medical missions. They formed Southwestern Medical Clinic, P.C. with the goal of supporting and collaborating with each other.
