The International Christian Medical and Dental Association have completed moving the head office from Cambridge, UK, to Edmonton, Canada. There is much involved in re-establishing the running of this office from one jurisdiction to another, as well as acquainting new workers to the organization. ICMDA is thankful for your thoughtful prayers in this continuing process.

After the 'high' of the International Congress in Taiwan, there is now a refocusing and shifting of attention to the various Regional Conferences that will occur in 2003 and 2004. The Central American Regional ICMDA Conference will be held in Honduras in November, 2003. In 2004, ICMDA Regional Conferences are planned for the European, Asia/Pacific, East African, Southern African, and South American regions. We also pray that a West African Regional Conference will become a reality. Please pray with us for our Father's blessing on these conferences.

The next European Regional ICMDA Conference will be held in Germany, with the student conference starting on 6 September, and the main conference on 8-12 September 2004. Please contact the ICMDA Europe Regional office for registration details:

Donations to ICMDA assist bursars to attend Regional Conferences, and help to promote ICMDA work in various world regions. CMF UK is a great partner with ICMDA in assisting the development of sister organizations for the betterment of healthcare in the name of Jesus. Regional conferences are part of this process. Please keep ICMDA in mind as you seek to follow what our Father has for you to do for him. Please send donations by cheque made out to 'ICMDA (UK)Trust' to the ICMDA Europe Regional Office as above.

A note to any graduate or student working in a medical mission: if you would like to send us details of where you are going, it may be possible to supply you with contact information of a local CMF, CMA, doctor, or dentist. Such contact may be of benefit to provide for mutual encouragement and growth in our faith, or to assist in establishing links to fulfil the task, as a team of Christian healthproviders, of caring for the sick. Another benefit of contact with us is that it will assist ICMDA in gaining an awareness of the various medical/dental missions and organizations, and will improve ICMDA's task assisting the networking of Christian medical/dental workers around the globe. We have much in common in the work our Father has given us for his glory, and it is a blessing to enjoy the food of fellowship as we share with each other the task he has given us.
