DHC back in 2018

Fi McLachlan talks about Global's flagship

Developing Health Course

8-20 July 2018, Northwood, Middlesex

Many of our members will be aware of this health course-originally aimed as a refresher for serving missionaries, but gradually welcoming more people who are preparing to go to work in resource poor settings. But as with all things, there is the need for reviewing who we are serving and how to best meet their needs.


A small team have been reviewing this course during the last year, all agree that the aims remain to:


1. Inspire and equip healthcare workers in serving in a global context.

2. Inspire and equip healthcare workers in developing holistic quality global healthcare with limited resources.


We are seeking to provide holistic care in a cross-cultural context, to model and train other healthcare workers, enhance clinical skills, offer caring for carers, grow understanding and adaptability in a cross-cultural setting and strengthen healthcare systems. This needs to be in a spirit of humility demonstrating servant leadership.


The course provides high quality teaching for members from the UK and also provides bursaries for some people from other CMF movements who otherwise would not be able to access such teaching and encouragement.


How might this aspect of our CMF ministry impact you?


First, please be praying for those participating this year.

Do consider whether coming along yourself for one of the specialist days - or the whole course - might enable you to learn and reflect on how you might be able to use your skills to strengthen global healthcare - either for the short or long term. Or do be pointing others to this course who you know are actively involved or considering such work.


And last, but by no means least, consider whether you can make a financial gift marked 'Bursary DHC' which might enable others who cannot afford to benefit - and hence partner in God's great work of missional healthcare across the globe.
