ss CMF news - winter 2001,  On the Move

On the Move

'Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left...' (Isaiah 54:2-3)

CMF's prime focus is to equip and encourage Christian doctors to fulfil Jesus' dual commission 'to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick' (Luke 9:2). Our activities to this end include Fellowship, Evangelism, Ethics, Student Support, Mission and Literature. In this issue of CMF News we want to remind you of what we are doing already and present our vision for the future.

God has richly blessed CMF over recent years and due to a combination of increased efficiency, judicious savings in the office, more reclaimed tax under the new Gift Aid Regulations and generous giving from members our nine month surplus by October 2001 was £54,000, despite an increase in our overall activity and expenditure. We believe that our healthy financial situation, combined with increasing demands for our services, both from within and outside the fellowship, is an encouragement for us to be doing more; and that means more staff and more involvement of volunteers at all levels. When Jesus told his disciples to look at the harvest he didn't command them all to work harder to bring it in, but rather to ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up more workers. Specifically we are looking to employ:

  • A full-time Assistant General Secretary
  • A part-time Student Secretary
  • More Regional Staffworkers
  • A new database assistant

The Student Secretary and database assistant are already accounted for in our 2002 budget, and staffworkers are funded by the regions themselves, so we believe we can achieve all the above simply by raising the extra support needed for an Assistant General Secretary. These appointments will move us a long way forward in achieving our future vision. Could any of them be you or someone you know?

If you share the vision, and would like to see it all happen, then please join us in praying and giving towards it.

Peter Saunders CMF General Secretary
