Global Missions Health Conference

Bonnie and Dennis Pruckler attended the GMHC last month, and Bonnie summarizes it as follows:

Where is God at work in the world and how can you be part of it? "The Global Missions Health Conference (GMHC) has answered that question hundreds of different ways for thousands of different people over the past 12 years. Attend the GMHC and you’ll hear stories of service to those in need. You will learn about effective community change. You can attend workshops about current field work best practices, and network with other people just like you. You can share innovative ideas for health care professionals and students to use their medical skills to make more disciples of Christ in the United States and throughout the world.” This is a quote from the website on the Global Mission Health Conference. http://www.medicalmissions.com/GMHC/2009_Conf.html The conference was held in Louisville, KY on Nov 12-14 this year. Next year it is scheduled for Nov. 11-13, 2010. It was a joy to be with others passionate about using their medical skills for Jesus. Conference speakers were from many parts of the world. The two exhibit halls were a great source of information, books, and other materials. The Global Missions Health Conference is a way to bring Christian healthcare professionals and students together to network with missions and ministry experts. More than 2,000 people attend. Anyone seeking opportunities in short-term and long-term medical missions or a medical missionary looking for partners, the conference gathers together Christians from all areas of health ministry around the world. It was a wonderful place to be inspired, learn, and network.
