Liam Goligher returns to the UK as the main speaker for the CMF National Conference, 25-27 April. Formerly Minister of Duke Street Church in Richmond, London, now Senior Minister of Tenth Presbyterian Church Philadelphia, he will expound Genesis 1-3 under the theme 'made in the image of God'.

This year's Rendle Short Lecture will have a global theme; the speaker is Vinod Shah, CEO of the International Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA). We have a new venue this year: Yarnfield Park Training & Conference Centre, Stone, Staffordshire ST15 0NL.

Mark Meynell, Senior Associate Minister (Training) at All Souls, Langham Place, London, is the lead speaker at the 2014 CMF Students' Conference at Swanwick, 7-9 February. Mark, who has published three books, Cross Examined (IVP), The New Testament and Slavery (Latimer Trust) and The Resurrection (10Publishing) will expound themes from Colossians under the theme 'the be all and end all'.

Christians in this young church faced many of the same issues we face today; confidence in who Jesus is the key to their resolution.

Professor John Wyatt (author of Matters of Life and Death) will give the conference address on understanding medical ethics. His seminar will provide further opportunity for discussion. There will be a fascinating selection of informative seminars relevant to student life and witness.

The Students' Conference and the National Conference are both open to nurses, midwives and students.

CMF is keen to support Christians in nursing and midwifery at all stages in their careers and to get a vision of the wider, national work that God is doing amongst medics and other health professionals.

CMF Development Plan

Thanks largely to CMF members' generosity, over £550,000 has now been raised towards the Three Year Development Plan target of £700,000 since the appeal was launched at Easter 2011. That's just under 80% of the income needed to:
- Strengthen our ministry to doctors
- Consolidate our student ministry
- Build our ministry to nurses
- Influence public policy
- Mobilise members for mission.

We still need another £150,000 by Easter 2014
