One of the greatest aspects of the <strong>CCHF</strong> conference is being together; and<br />

not just in meetings. The Event Center will be the heart of the conference by<br />

being the place where we gather, visit, learn, network, pray, worship, laugh, and<br />

encounter God.<br />

“INSPIRED BY A VISION, FOCUSED<br />

ON A MISSION, ROOTED IN<br />

KINGDOM VALUES”<br />

Vision<br />

We envision a movement of God’s people who choose daily to promote healing in marginalized<br />

communities in the name of Jesus.<br />

Mission<br />

The mission of Christian Community Health Fellowship is to encourage, engage and equip<br />

Christians to live out the gospel through healthcare among the poor and marginalized.<br />

Values<br />

• Supremacy of Christ: Honoring the Lordship of Christ and submitting ourselves to his authority and<br />

person.<br />

• Prophetic Voice: Challenging God’s people to choose to go against the status quo; to be<br />

incarnational, sacrificial, and to enter into the suffering of the poor.<br />

• Wholistic Care: Encouraging excellent, compassionate health care, ministering to spiritual, physical,<br />

and emotional needs of people and their communities.<br />

• Reconciliation: Restoring right relationships to God, to one another, and to all of creation,<br />

addressing barriers that commonly divide, including race, social status, and economic oppression.<br />

• Justice: Working toward God’s kingdom, setting all things right for the oppressed, the forgotten,<br />

and particularly the marginalized in our health care system.<br />

• Partnership: Listening to and working alongside churches, patients, our communities, and one<br />

another.<br />

The Role of <strong>CCHF</strong><br />

There is a growing movement of Christians who are committed to bring healing to marginalized communities in Jesus’<br />

name. <strong>CCHF</strong> is the joint effort of those in the movement to help others find their place in our common cause, persevere<br />

in our mutual calling, and grow in our understanding of what it means to be ambassadors of Christ in healthcare and in<br />

communities of need. Simply put, the role of <strong>CCHF</strong> is to support and grow this movement. We do this through..<br />

1.Relational Network<br />

The most powerful thing about <strong>CCHF</strong> is the actual community. It is real and relational. We share our experiences and insights and help one another. We<br />

help members of this movement find one another and connect in meaningful ways that honors Christ and advances His cause.<br />

2.National & Regional Events<br />

The most visible of these is the <strong>CCHF</strong> conference - a 3-day event with inspiring speakers, informative workshops, and opportunities to network. Christian<br />

leaders and pioneers are available to newcomers to both share and to listen to the new voices in this community.<br />

3.Students & Residents<br />

Through collaborative relationships with groups like CMDA, MCO and InterVarsity, <strong>CCHF</strong> practitioners speak to campus groups at over 100 campuses<br />

every year. We provide clinical experiences through preceptor and internship programs in Christian clinics. And we help residents find placements at<br />

clinics where they can integrate faith with clinical care for the medically underserved.<br />

4.Publications<br />

<strong>CCHF</strong> publishes books like Upholding the Vision and Faith in the Trenches, podcasts like <strong>CCHF</strong>|Talk, newsletters, and other literature that gives voice to<br />

those in our community who help us stay fruitful and effective in living out the gospel through healthcare among those who are poor.<br />

5.www.cchf.org<br />

The <strong>CCHF</strong> website is a “toolshed” where participants in the movement share resources to help you grow in conviction and ability to fulfill your calling in<br />

healthcare. It is constantly growing as the community adds content, and the dialogue progresses as we grapple with what it means to live out the gospel<br />

through healthcare among the poor.<br />

PAGE 15


A CULTURE OF PRAYER<br />

“I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask<br />

for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or<br />

three come together in my name, there am I with them.” (Matt 18.19-<br />

20)<br />

Prayer is a tangible admission that we are dependent on God. It is<br />

perhaps the greatest way to grow in our intimacy with Him through<br />

Christ, and without doubt, the most important thing we do at this<br />

conference.<br />

Take advantage of our time together to pray with one another, pay<br />

attention to God’s presence and His leading, and make space for<br />

prayer throughout the conference.<br />

Here are some prayer opportunities:<br />

• Corporate Prayer during the plenary sessions. These will be led<br />

by people on stage and will give us time to pray for one another.<br />

• Prayer Team. After plenary sessions and throughout the<br />

conference members of the “Prayer Team” are available to pray<br />

for and with you. These are select, trusted, balanced Christians<br />

who will be wearing Prayer Team t-shirts. They have already<br />

been praying for you, and are ready to stand with you as you<br />

respond to God’s word and the Spirit’s conviction.<br />

“…the Spirit helps<br />

us in our weakness.<br />

We do not know what<br />

we ought to pray for,<br />

but the Spirit himself<br />

intercedes for us with<br />

groans that words<br />

cannot express… the<br />

Spirit intercedes for the<br />

saints in accordance<br />

with God’s will.”<br />

“Christ Jesus, who<br />

died--more than that,<br />

who was raised to life-<br />

-is at the right hand<br />

of God and is also<br />

interceding for us.”<br />

(Rom 8:26-27,34)<br />

• Pray with others. Please pray with one another! Pray with those<br />

you already know and those you are meeting for the first time.<br />

We are all discovering what it means to live out the gospel as a<br />

community, and it is almost never inappropriate for us to pray<br />

for one another.<br />

We look forward to hearing how God has met you at the conference,<br />

how he used you in the lives of others, and how He used others to<br />

speak to you.<br />

PAGE 16<br />

“Ask and it will be<br />

given to you; seek and<br />

you will find; knock<br />

and the door will be<br />

EVENT CENTER<br />

Leading a faith-based<br />

organization is different.<br />

The way faith informs our<br />

leadership style, decision<br />

making processes, and our<br />

priorities makes our jobs<br />

unique. This gathering<br />

of executives of Christian<br />

health organizations is an<br />

opportunity to connect with<br />

new leaders and reconnect<br />

with old friends who<br />

understand the pressures<br />

and joys of stewarding both<br />

“mission” and “margin”.<br />

This session is designed<br />

to allow us to both share<br />

and listen to one another,<br />

as we discuss in group<br />

and open formats some<br />

of the key challenges and<br />

opportunities that confront<br />

us in this critical time in<br />

the development of our<br />

organizations and our<br />

movement.<br />

Acute and<br />

Chronic, Non-<br />

Malignant Pain<br />

Case Studies<br />

John Boll<br />

The management of pain in<br />

underserved communities<br />

is challenging as providers<br />

strive to bring healing.<br />

This challenge is more<br />

pronounced with recent<br />

paradigm changes in pain<br />

management where opioids<br />

are no longer recommended<br />

in deference to non-opioid<br />

alternatives. This session<br />

covers principles in regards<br />

to pain treatment, including<br />

the prevention of pain and<br />

addiction, harm reduction,<br />

and methods to maximize<br />

non-opioid alternatives<br />

for pain management. It<br />

addresses the new challenges<br />

providers face in the wake of<br />

the current opioid crisis by<br />

reviewing cases highlighting<br />

unique aspects of acute<br />

and chronic, non-malignant<br />

pain treatment. Audience<br />

members will work through<br />

cases in small groups and<br />

then participate in a follow up<br />

discussion.<br />

Such interventions were<br />

used in a spirituality group<br />

at an inner-city psychosocial<br />

rehabilitation program<br />

such that 100% of the<br />

participants achieved their<br />

treatment goals consistently<br />

over 3 years. This seminar<br />

will 1) introduce research on<br />

the relationship between<br />

spirituality and mental<br />

health, 2) describe the<br />

spirituality group as an<br />

example, and 3) address<br />

how to implement spiritual<br />

interventions in the process<br />

of transforming persons in<br />

Christ. This workshop will<br />

explore the who, what, why,<br />

and how of using spiritual<br />

interventions. Assessment<br />

tools and case examples<br />

will be discussed.<br />

This is a “How-We-Got-<br />

Here” overview of the<br />

current opioid epidemic.<br />

This workshop looks at<br />

the science and history<br />

of the epidemic to bring<br />

better understanding and<br />

to sift through fact and<br />

urban legend. It will discuss<br />

recovery and treatment<br />

approaches, highlight the<br />

importance of connection<br />

in recovery, and the role<br />

that Christian health centers<br />

and churches can play in<br />

restoring lives wrecked<br />

by this pandemic. Led by<br />

experts in addiction and<br />

recovery who have been<br />

active in Ohio’s state-wide<br />

efforts to address this crisis,<br />

the presenters will discuss<br />

strategies of collaborative<br />

partnerships, the role of<br />

faith in the continuum of<br />

care, and ways for local<br />

churches to engage the<br />

problem siting examples<br />

from other communities.<br />

Ben Andrews<br />

There are limited<br />

numbers of HIV providers<br />

nationwide. Stigma is a<br />

leading cause of AIDSrelated<br />

death and can<br />

be particularly strong in<br />

many churches. Are you<br />

interested in treating<br />

HIV and addressing how<br />

to impact the church to<br />

combat HIV-related stigma?<br />

This workshop will dive<br />

into the epidemiology of<br />

HIV in the U.S., updates in<br />

HIV care and treatment,<br />

and discuss development<br />

of HIV treatment program<br />

within an FQHC and steps<br />

to address stigma in the<br />

It would be difficult to<br />

overstate the role that<br />

John Perkins has had in<br />

inspiring and directing the<br />

movement of Christians<br />

towards living out the<br />

gospel through healthcare<br />

among those who are<br />

poor and marginalized. He<br />

is the father of Christian<br />

community development<br />

and the co-founder of<br />

<strong>CCHF</strong>. In this moderated<br />

discussion led by Takesha<br />

Leonard, NP, Dr. John<br />

Perkins will talk to<br />

those disciples who are<br />

willing to take the lead<br />

in a movement to bring<br />

healing to marginalized<br />

communities in the name<br />

of Jesus. He will discuss<br />

the central role the gospel<br />

must play in seeing real<br />

change through our efforts<br />

to engage communities of<br />

need, and how we should<br />

demonstrate as well as<br />

declare that gospel.<br />

The increasingly stressful<br />

healthcare environment<br />

limits clinicians’ ability<br />

to provide whole-person<br />

care that considers the<br />

physical, psychological,<br />

social, and spiritual needs<br />

of those with chronic<br />

disabling illness. Spiritual<br />

care teams have been<br />

shown to help clinicians<br />

stay efficient and provide<br />

quality spiritual care at the<br />

same time in a wide variety<br />

of inpatient and outpatient,<br />

secular and faith-based<br />

care environments. In this<br />

seminar, the author of<br />

CMDA’s popular Grace<br />

Prescriptions course<br />

will describe an exciting<br />

way for Christian health<br />

professionals to form teams<br />

to provide whole-person<br />

care in most any healthcare<br />

environment and the<br />

capacity to increase the<br />

quality of patient care.<br />

Barriers to providing care,<br />

the brokenness of our<br />

healthcare system, the<br />

difficulty of our daily work,<br />

non-compliant patients,<br />

EMR – the list goes on.<br />

These are the things that<br />

challenge our love for our<br />

patients and our work,<br />

and test our resilience. Recontextualizing<br />

our work as<br />

worship, and offering it as a<br />

sacrifice of suffering on the<br />

altar of pride, can serve as<br />

an antidote to the burn out<br />

that plagues the modern<br />

practice of medicine.<br />

When we acknowledge our<br />

weakness and suffering,<br />

we open the floodgates of<br />

heaven to fill us with the<br />

strength of God. Ultimately<br />

the Lord is glorified, we are<br />

strengthened, and our community<br />

is blessed by God’s<br />

power made manifest in our<br />

weakness.<br />

What makes marriage<br />

work? Why do couples<br />

get divorced when they<br />

have the same problems<br />

as couples who make it<br />

work and stay together?<br />

Divorce is at an epidemic<br />

proportion. The breakdown<br />

of the family creates one<br />

of the saddest times in<br />

families lives. Our Lord<br />

cries when this happens.<br />

We need to see past our<br />

misunderstandings and look<br />

to how we can fulfill the<br />

blessing of marriage. This<br />

session will help couples<br />

find a 3rd way to keep the<br />

promises they made to<br />

each other and to the Lord.<br />

We will review 6 rules of<br />

engagement that couples<br />

who last use, and work on<br />

exercises that increase your<br />

ability to understand your<br />

partner.<br />

Hurricanes, floods,<br />

earthquakes, fires.<br />

Disasters happen with<br />

little or no warning, and<br />

bring not only destruction,<br />

but chaos. Medical care<br />

during and after natural<br />

disasters requires special<br />

skill sets. God has placed<br />

people strategically to<br />

bring peace and healing<br />

in times of great tragedy<br />

and need. This session<br />

is a panel discussion on<br />

preparation and execution<br />

of operational and medical<br />

delivery during a natural<br />

disaster. Based on actual<br />

experience, a team of<br />

medical leaders will share<br />

about lessons they learned<br />

during super-storm Sandy<br />

and Hurricane Harvey. They<br />

will discuss preparations<br />

clinics have made before<br />

and since the disasters they<br />

encountered, and leave<br />

time for Q&A.<br />

Most organizational leaders<br />

will tell you that their<br />

highest staff turnover rate<br />

is among support staff.<br />

Perhaps one reason is that<br />

support staff are often<br />

overlooked for their part<br />

in bringing value to the<br />

healthcare organization’s<br />

mission and ministry. In<br />

this session, Kyle Vath will<br />

lead a discussion about<br />

how recruiting, hiring,<br />

managing, discipling and<br />

developing support staff in<br />

your organization may be<br />

one of the most important<br />

tasks ministry leaders<br />

hold in ensuring that your<br />

mission flourishes.<br />

Many students and young<br />

professionals want to be a<br />

part of pioneering medical<br />

work, but don’t know<br />

where to start. There are<br />

many resources available<br />

on the practical/business<br />

side of how to start a clinic.<br />

Even step-by-step guides<br />

on starting an FQHC, or<br />

fundraising, or how to<br />

choose a board. There is<br />

also a lot of information<br />

on the overall health and<br />

poverty statistics in our<br />

country. The problem is<br />

how to choose what city<br />

to go to and what to do<br />

when you get there. This<br />

session will seek to navigate<br />

both a Biblical approach to<br />

following God’s call and the<br />

practical ways of exploring<br />

the resources and needs<br />

of a city.<br />

Sold on the value of<br />

integrated behavioral<br />

health services within your<br />

primary care clinic? What<br />

happens when there’s<br />

not enough behavioral<br />

health providers to go<br />

around, or you haven’t<br />

been able to hire any yet?<br />

Many care team members<br />

(including primary care<br />

providers) find themselves<br />

ill-equipped, under-trained,<br />

and unsure of how to best<br />

identify, treat, and manage<br />

behavioral health concerns<br />

within the fast-paced<br />

nature of primary care. This<br />

session is geared toward<br />

educating and equipping<br />

multidisciplinary care<br />

team members without<br />

specialized behavioral<br />

health training to effectively<br />

deliver brief interventions<br />

and adopt practical<br />

treatment strategies.<br />

The sin of idolatry is hard<br />

to ignore during medical<br />

school -- desiring the<br />

best education, the most<br />

knowledge, the best<br />

grades, entrance to a<br />

top residency program,<br />

popularity, respect, comfort.<br />

Praise Jesus that the Gospel<br />

offers so much more than<br />

that, and for the accountability<br />

that the Body of<br />

Christ (including the <strong>CCHF</strong><br />

network!) provides. Come<br />

hear the stories of four very<br />

imperfect medical students<br />

as they pursue a perfect<br />

God and His commandment<br />

to make disciples of<br />

all nations.<br />

Healthcare providers are<br />

familiar with an evidencebased<br />

practice model<br />

which promotes clinical<br />

decision making based on<br />

empirical evidence and<br />

expert opinion. You are<br />

likely very familiar with<br />

resources which synthesize<br />

the best evidence for<br />

patient care, but where<br />

do you start when you<br />

want to reach outside<br />

the walls of your clinic?<br />

How do you know what<br />

works best to improve the<br />

health of neighborhoods<br />

and communities? In this<br />

session, we will explore two<br />

web-based resources which<br />

synthesize evidence-based<br />

approaches to improving<br />

population health.<br />

There are those in your<br />

church who genuinely want<br />

to do more to care for the<br />

poor, stranger, widow, and<br />

orphan, but they don’t<br />

understand what to do or<br />

where to start. This is the<br />

story of a program that<br />

has helped transform a<br />

suburban church in Western<br />

Michigan by helping them<br />

engage their vulnerable<br />

neighbors. They spend<br />

alternate weeks off-site<br />

listening to & serving the<br />

poor, and other weeks<br />

studying, processing and<br />

connecting. Topics include<br />

the Biblical mandate to<br />

serve, racism, and helping<br />

without hurting. The<br />

program ends with a retreat<br />

focused on the next steps<br />

God wants them to take.<br />

This presentation will lead<br />

you through a process that<br />

you can replicate it in your<br />

church. Study materials,<br />

resources and templates<br />

will be shared.<br />

Physicians are<br />

uncomfortable dealing<br />

with opioid misuse and<br />

addiction. Continuing<br />

the opioids and abruptly<br />

stopping them are both<br />

bad choices. This panel<br />

discussion will explore how<br />

three clinics are addressing<br />

the national opioid crisis in<br />

their day-to-day interactions<br />

with their patients. The<br />

panel will cover tools to<br />

recognize misuse and<br />

addiction and present<br />

interventions including<br />

pharmacotherapy. The last<br />

help of the program will<br />

be devoted to learning<br />

how to communicate nonjudgmentally<br />

but without<br />

enabling the patient to<br />

continue their misuse or<br />

addiction. This portion<br />

will be case-based with<br />

audience participation.<br />

The speaker will share how<br />

he shares the gospel in a<br />

nonsectarian setting in a<br />

manner that is acceptable<br />

and also sees patients<br />

connecting with the gospel<br />

and local churches.<br />

Jesus doesn’t command us<br />

to just make converts, but<br />

to make disciples. Still, how<br />

do you do that practically<br />

— particularly as it relates<br />

to working in healthcare?<br />

This seminar will provide<br />

a simple, yet holistic<br />

model for evangelism,<br />

discipleship, and leadership<br />

development today — to<br />

help people move from<br />

skeptic to world-changer.<br />

Yes, this is a thing - and it<br />

has been a game-changer<br />

for a number of Christian<br />

clinics. This seminar focuses<br />

on leadership dynamics and<br />

change needed to lead a<br />

clinic through the process<br />

of becoming a Federally<br />

Qualified Health Center<br />

Look-Alike designee. We<br />

will walk clinic leadership<br />

through how to successfully<br />

help your staff and board<br />

make the transition. Baptist<br />

Community Health Services,<br />

New Orleans, will share<br />

from its experience as a<br />

3-year old clinic in making<br />

a successful conversion to a<br />

FQHC LAL. Highlights will<br />

include transitioning your<br />

board; organizing key staff<br />

to help you, communicating<br />

with all your staff about the<br />

strategic direction you are<br />

moving toward as an FQHC<br />

candidate, and more.<br />

You know that you’ve<br />

been called to serve in<br />

the inner-city. However<br />

you sometimes wonder<br />

how you can effectively<br />

serve in a community<br />

whose culture may be<br />

quite different from the<br />

one that you have always<br />

known. This workshop<br />

will utilize discussion and<br />

case study illustrations to<br />

provide practical steps<br />

that we can take to better<br />

understand the culture, and<br />

engage more fully, with the<br />

community that we have<br />

been called to serve as<br />

urban missionaries.<br />

God desires us to be<br />

fruitful, effective, visionary<br />

disciples for His glory and<br />

our joy. That is our norm.<br />

So when we feel fruitless,<br />

ineffective, and blind,<br />

we need to know how to<br />

rebound. This session will<br />

help instruct those new to<br />

this type of ministry, who<br />

are excited about entering<br />

into the field of missional<br />

medicine, and it will<br />

encourage those who have<br />

been at this a while and<br />

who are weary from years<br />

of labor. Robert Campbell,<br />

co-founder of Christ<br />

Community Health Services<br />

of Augusta, will share from<br />

God’s word and discuss<br />

his experiences of over 10<br />

years of healthcare ministry<br />

management of ACEs is<br />

particularly crucial within<br />

the primary care context,<br />

often an entry point for<br />

healthcare for vulnerable<br />

children and families. The<br />

current workshop will afford<br />

participants an overview<br />

of a foundational ACEs<br />

study and offer insights into<br />

mechanisms for addressing<br />

ACEs from a holistic health<br />

perspective. Further, the<br />

workshop will encourage<br />

ongoing dialogue<br />

regarding opportunities for<br />

growth within the primary<br />

care environment.<br />

As <strong>CCHF</strong> transitions<br />

into the new healthcare<br />

environment, a new<br />

generation of pioneers are<br />

ready to bring shape and<br />

growth to this movement.<br />

Come and hear how<br />

these emerging leaders<br />

are applying established<br />

principles of living out the<br />

gospel through healthcare<br />

among the poor. Several<br />

of these young physician<br />

leaders are in the midst<br />

of startups. Others are<br />

still in their training, but<br />

with clear ideas of what<br />

it means to serve Christ<br />

missionally through<br />

medicine. Attendees, too,<br />

can become emerging<br />

leaders and pioneers-<br />

-men and women who<br />

will bring glory to God,<br />

expand the Kingdom of<br />

Jesus, encourage the<br />

wider Church, and bring<br />

healthcare equity to our<br />

marginalized neighbors.<br />

While we may not be able<br />

to “fix” the immigration<br />

challenges on a federal<br />

level, we all have the opportunity<br />

to advocate<br />

and act on a local level.<br />

Goshen, IN is a small town<br />

with a surprisingly large<br />

Hispanic community. Center<br />

for Healing & Hope, a<br />

Christian charitable clinic<br />

that serves this marginalized<br />

population, engaged<br />

in a collaborative process to<br />

offer and produce “Goshen<br />

Resident Identification<br />

Cards” (GRID) in response<br />

to the challenges that<br />

immigrants currently face.<br />

This session will utilize the 6<br />

<strong>CCHF</strong> Principles of Christian<br />

Health Care to share the<br />

story of how this project<br />

came about, the initial<br />

implementation challenges,<br />

and current status of this<br />

project, in the Christian<br />

effort to create “community<br />

for all”.<br />

Does modern medicine<br />

eliminate and ignore the<br />

place for spirituality and<br />

spiritual care? Is there<br />

evidence that spirituality,<br />

and Biblical spiritual<br />

disciplines in particular,<br />

has an affect on health<br />

outcomes? This session<br />

will first look at current<br />

evidence surrounding the<br />

effect of spirituality on<br />

health. The second half<br />

will provide some practical<br />

tools and practices that you<br />

as health care worker can<br />

employ and empower your<br />

patients to practice that will<br />

lead to true transformation<br />

of their health and their<br />

lives. This workshop is<br />

appropriate for providers<br />

and support staff at all<br />

levels.<br />

How do we overcome our<br />

tepid half-hardheartedness<br />

to being a faithful and true<br />

witness of Christ Jesus<br />

in His work of healing,<br />

restoration and health?<br />

Both individuals and<br />

local churches struggle<br />

in the desire to commit<br />

to bold transformations<br />

for the implementation of<br />

God’s health agenda. The<br />

struggle to create a mission<br />

driven culture is real but not<br />

insurmountable. We invite<br />

anyone vested in Christian<br />

healing communities to<br />

join us in reflecting on how<br />

we can embrace major<br />

reformation, renewal, and<br />

investments in promoting<br />

the physical and spiritual<br />

healing felt needs of our<br />

communities.<br />

Medicine often shifts<br />

students away from their<br />

first calling to serve. For<br />

the believer our calling<br />

to serve is for the Master,<br />

who, according to Eph<br />

2:10 says, “for we are His<br />

workmanship created<br />

in Christ Jesus for good<br />

works, which He prepared<br />

beforehand, that we should<br />

walk in them.” Faith can<br />

guide us through the<br />

turbulent waters of medical<br />

training. Direction in life,<br />

direction in faith expression,<br />

values that guide us all<br />

through our faith, and<br />

being able to correctly<br />

and spiritually be a man or<br />

woman of principle and not<br />

people who are pragmatic<br />

like so many in society,<br />

medicine and life. Realign<br />

your thinking to the service<br />

aligned with the Scriptures.<br />

We all enter our faith with<br />

the hope that our lives will<br />

get better, and that we’ll<br />

impart the blessings of<br />

life in Christ to those we<br />

serve and serve alongside.<br />

However, somewhere along<br />

the way the dream can<br />

become disappointing,<br />

frustrating, tedious,<br />

discouraging, and even<br />

broken. How can we pick<br />

back up and continue to<br />

grow and enjoy life while<br />

resisting and recovering<br />

from life’s setbacks?<br />

Will God fix us and the<br />

situations we find ourselves<br />

in, or is brokenness our<br />

inevitable destination? This<br />

session will help you make<br />

a biblical/clinical analysis of<br />

your condition, and apply<br />

lessons from others and our<br />

own history to rediscover<br />

the enduring Hope that we<br />

are meant to enjoy in Christ.<br />

Good Samaritan Health<br />

Services-Tulsa is a nationally<br />

recognized leader in utilizing<br />

mobile medical vans<br />

for over a decade. Many<br />

in underserved populations<br />

often face difficulties<br />

accessing quality care;<br />

transportation to a fixed<br />

base clinic, fear of discovery<br />

for undocumented persons,<br />

or impersonal care provided<br />

by public health clinics.<br />

Attendees will gain knowledge<br />

of the value (and challenges)<br />

of utilizing mobile<br />

medical vans to provide<br />

healthcare to a number of<br />

populations not all located<br />

in one place. Furthermore<br />

understanding the cost and<br />

requirements of doing medical<br />

care on the road, and<br />

learning the keys to success<br />

in using mobile medical<br />

vans for ministry.<br />

Many believers do not<br />

get the full benefit of<br />

the gift of life, which is<br />

our own, because we<br />

have not adopted a life<br />

practice that effectively<br />

moves us toward healing<br />

of emotional wounds and<br />

disappointments, while at<br />

the same time forgetting<br />

much good that we were<br />

intended to consciously<br />

keep. This workshop will<br />

reflect on a few profound<br />

portions of scripture,<br />

inviting the Holy Spirit to<br />

help us unpack our own<br />

life narratives in such a<br />

way as to move us toward<br />

further emotional healing<br />

and wholeness, to better<br />

equip us for our present/<br />

future. Additionally it will<br />

help us mark and recall the<br />

“ Ebeneezer “ moments of<br />

our lives.<br />

As managers and leaders<br />

we need to go beyond<br />

cultural facts, cultural<br />

knowledge, and ethnic<br />

diversity for the sake of<br />

diversity. It is critical that<br />

we ask, “Is our diversity<br />

inclusive? Are people<br />

identified beyond their job<br />

titles?” This session is an<br />

invitation to have an honest<br />

and real conversation about<br />

what it means to be the<br />

type of leader with whom<br />

minority groups have a<br />

desire to work, having<br />

leadership reflect the<br />

community it serves, and<br />

leading the organization<br />

to its best expression of<br />

God’s diversity as a gift to<br />

our community and to one<br />

another.<br />

The stigma of mental<br />

illness is still very real in<br />

the church. Few are able<br />

to speak openly about<br />

it or know what to do to<br />

assist those who need<br />

help. It is up to us to help<br />

church leaders better<br />

understand congregants<br />

and parishioners with<br />

mental illness and know<br />

how to minister to them.<br />

This session will define what<br />

mental illness is, explore<br />

how the church responds<br />

to people with mental<br />

disorders, present survey<br />

results from churches in Los<br />

Angeles (CA) County, and<br />

discuss action steps that<br />

churches can implement<br />

to minister to congregants<br />

with mental health needs.<br />

Tools and resources will be<br />

San Francisco City Impact<br />

Health & Wellness is a free<br />

clinic in the Tenderloin<br />

district of downtown San<br />

Francisco serving the city’s<br />

homeless and marginally<br />

housed residents. Dr.<br />

Clifford Lau will share<br />

about their unique patient<br />

demographic and tailored<br />

healthcare delivery<br />

model. He will also share<br />

transparently about lessons<br />

learned through patient<br />

stories, clinical experiences,<br />

and the intersection of real<br />

life and healthcare ministry<br />

weaved through 3 themes:<br />

1) Running ahead of God, 2)<br />

What is money? and 3) How<br />

to call it quits.<br />

Oral health is an integral<br />

part of total body<br />

health, but we have been<br />

conditioned to think of<br />

oral health as a separate<br />

phenomenon. This session<br />

was designed to educate<br />

health center administrative<br />

and support staff on how<br />

to successfully transform<br />

one’s thinking to incorporate<br />

oral health education<br />

into the patient’s medical<br />

visit and into community<br />

health initiatives. This will<br />

be achieved by assisting<br />

non-medical staff with<br />

understanding the mouth/<br />

body connection, as well as,<br />

identifying the oral health<br />

determinants to optimal<br />

health. Attendees will leave<br />

confident in discussing oral<br />

health concerns, as well<br />

as, initiating the appropriate<br />

oral health referrals for<br />

patients.<br />

In 1976 John Perkins began<br />

teaching a framework for<br />

ministry in low income<br />

communities known as the<br />

“Three R’s”: Relocation,<br />

Reconciliation, and<br />

Redistribution. Are they<br />

still a valid framework for<br />

us to use today, 42 years<br />

later? We think so. In this<br />

workshop you will learn how<br />

we at Lawndale Christian<br />

Health Center still utilize<br />

the “Three R’s” as core<br />

values for guiding our<br />

work. Might the “Three R’s<br />

help your organization?<br />

This workshop will help<br />

you ponder creating core<br />

values and clear frameworks<br />

for creating an effective<br />

ministry.<br />

The present political<br />

climate comes as a shock to<br />

many of us who have fought<br />

for years to see a more just<br />

health care system and who<br />

have committed to help<br />

aliens, refugees and asylee<br />

seekers in this country.<br />

What does this mean to<br />

the poorest and most<br />

vulnerable among us, and<br />

what should followers of<br />

Jesus do? This session will<br />

explore the rich tradition<br />

of Biblical advocacy on<br />

behalf of the poorest<br />

and most vulnerable<br />

throughout history. What<br />

does advocacy mean for<br />

us today? What does it<br />

mean to have a prophetic<br />

voice? How can we make a<br />

difference not just providing<br />

good care to individuals but<br />

also advocating for a more<br />

just society that reflects the<br />

Kingdom of God?<br />

Healthy leadership teams<br />

are necessary for any<br />

successful healthcare<br />

organization. With the<br />

evolution of healthcare<br />

delivery, clinical teams<br />

have gained importance<br />

as well. Team performance<br />

is a product of competent<br />

leadership and member<br />

engagement, founded<br />

on relational trust. This<br />

presentation will describe<br />

five behaviors critical for<br />

the creation of a cohesive<br />

team, and help attendees<br />

become better leaders and<br />

team members.<br />

Have you longed to<br />

integrate your Christian<br />

faith into your patient care<br />

– both on the mission field<br />

abroad and in your work<br />

at home? Most patients<br />

want their healthcare<br />

professional to be sensitive<br />

to their spiritual needs<br />

during illness. Yet, the<br />

vast majority of healthcare<br />

professionals do not know<br />

how to assess and address<br />

these need and fewer still<br />

actually provide this aspect<br />

of care in their patient<br />

care. Not sure how to do<br />

this in a caring, sensitive,<br />

and relevant manner? This<br />

“working” session will<br />

explore the ethical basis for<br />

spiritual care plus provide<br />

you with profession, timely,<br />

and practical methods to<br />

care for the whole person in<br />

the clinical setting.<br />

You don’t have to have an<br />

MD or MBA to be used<br />

by God. God calls us all<br />

to be missional in the way<br />

we approach our jobs, and<br />

every other area of our lives.<br />

Janet Aguirre and Katie<br />

Huff, a medical assistant<br />

and a registered nurse, will<br />

share stories and experiences.<br />

They never expected<br />

to be thrust into leadership<br />

roles at a grassroots<br />

homeless clinic, but offered<br />

their training and their path<br />

to honor Christ, and have<br />

learned/are learning what<br />

it means to live missionally.<br />

Doing work that is often<br />

unfamiliar with their training,<br />

God is using them and<br />

teaching them how to walk<br />

out the adventure of serving<br />

God’s purpose in one of the<br />

most broken communities<br />

in America.<br />

Why does diversity matter<br />

in a Christian organization?<br />

Is there a biblical precedent<br />

for creating space for<br />

diversity at every level of<br />

leadership? How do you<br />

create space for diversity<br />

while acknowledging the<br />

dignity of every individual?<br />

Explore these questions<br />

and more through personal<br />

stories and biblical texts<br />

from the perspective of an<br />

African-American pastor of<br />

a multi-ethnic church.<br />

“Everything is bigger in<br />

Texas” is true for many<br />

great things, but it is<br />

also applies to some<br />

sad realities: largest<br />

uninsured population<br />

in the country, greatest<br />

shortage of primary care<br />

providers, health disparities<br />

and unequal access to<br />

healthcare and resources<br />

- the list goes on. But God<br />

is working across Texas.<br />

Baylor Scott and White<br />

(BSWH), one of the biggest<br />

healthcare systems in Texas,<br />

has adopted “To care for all<br />

individuals…. as a Christian<br />

ministry of healing” as its<br />

mission. This session will<br />

look at innovative care<br />

programs, community care<br />

clinics, and collaborations<br />

to address social<br />

determinants of health that<br />

are happening in Texas’<br />

largest metro center to<br />

address the physical, social<br />

and spiritual needs of their<br />

neighbors.<br />

The more divided and<br />

spiritually confused our<br />

nation and world become<br />

and the more beyond social<br />

and political solutions our<br />

problems appear to grow,<br />

the more we find ourselves<br />

crying out with aching<br />

hearts, “How long O Lord<br />

will you wait? Rain your Holy<br />

Spirit on us and rescue,<br />

heal, and restore us! Bring<br />

us times of refreshing and<br />

revival!” Do we actually<br />

know what we’re asking<br />

for? And are we and our<br />

ministries prepared when<br />

the Lord answers in the<br />

affirmative? How can and<br />

should we be preparing<br />

now for an outpouring of<br />

grace in our communities<br />

in the foreseeable future?<br />

This session is not typical<br />

Sunday School lesson, but a<br />

call within our community to<br />

understand the times and<br />

know what we should do.<br />

A growing body of<br />

psychological literature is<br />

placing emphasis on faith,<br />

meaning, and purpose as<br />

having significant roles in<br />

trauma outcomes, both<br />

positive and negative. The<br />

purpose of this workshop<br />

will be to increase the<br />

clinician’s understanding<br />

of the spiritual and mental<br />

health sequelae following<br />

traumatic events, how to<br />

navigate unique cultural<br />

and individual factors that<br />

can impact the healing<br />

process, and practical<br />

steps the clinician can take<br />

to improve resilience and<br />

growth before and after<br />

traumatic events.<br />

There is so much joy when<br />

you know you are walking<br />

in God’s will. However, that<br />

joy can quickly dissipate<br />

when we run headlong<br />

into the realities of life. It is<br />

especially easy to become<br />

discouraged working in<br />

underserved areas. We can<br />

lose sight of what is important,<br />

and find ourselves<br />

wavering from our calling.<br />

Using concepts from<br />

Henri Nouwen’s Life of the<br />

Beloved, Dr. Thomas will<br />

exposit Luke 3-4 contrasting<br />

the sweet voice of our<br />

Father with the dark lies<br />

of the enemy. This timely<br />

message will encourage<br />

you to contemplate your<br />

motivation for serving in the<br />

hard places.<br />

For 25 years, Crossroad<br />

Health Center has provided<br />

quality care to adult and<br />

pediatric patients in underresourced<br />

communities in<br />

and around Cincinnati. In<br />

2016, Crossroad recognized<br />

the need for quality,<br />

wholistic prenatal care,<br />

and created a program<br />

model designed to impact<br />

the high infant mortality<br />

rate in their county. This<br />

session describes how they<br />

assessed the need, and<br />

implemented their prenatal<br />

care program in partnership<br />

with a family medicine<br />

residency, a for-profit<br />

hospital and a safety-net<br />

hospital. There will be a<br />

review of resources, and<br />

guidelines on negotiating<br />

strategic partnerships to<br />

insure quality in serving<br />

a high-risk underserved<br />

population.<br />

The intensity of medical<br />

training and the pouring<br />

out of ourselves in medical<br />

practice can lead us to feel<br />

there is nothing left to give<br />

at home, in relationships or<br />

for personal self-care. Could<br />

our pursuit of “balance”<br />

be harmful, and could it<br />

be leading us away from<br />

Christ’s desire to unify all<br />

areas of our lives under his<br />

Lordship. During this highly<br />

interactive session, we will<br />

propose a reframing of the<br />

culturally popular idea of<br />

work-life balance.<br />

Happy patients become<br />

healthy patients. They<br />

let us make their lives<br />

better, and they make<br />

our jobs a pleasure. But<br />

they rarely come that way.<br />

First encounters often can<br />

determine the patient’s<br />

experience. A simple yet<br />

overlooked component<br />

to maximizing patient<br />

satisfaction is the practice<br />

of great customer service<br />

skills. With such a heavy<br />

focus on improving the<br />

patient experience, this<br />

interactive session will focus<br />

on the various components<br />

of providing excellent<br />

customer service, even in<br />

challenging settings.<br />

Scripture has much to say<br />

and show to us about how<br />

we can reflect the character<br />

and the heart of God in<br />

the provision of health care<br />

and in health care ministry.<br />

Specifically, we will look<br />

at the Biblical concepts of<br />

compassion, shalom, loving<br />

God and neighbor, and<br />

God’s design for us to be<br />

dependent upon Him. God<br />

transforms His people as<br />

they serve and reflect Him<br />

and His heart.<br />

The increasingly stressful<br />

healthcare environment<br />

provide whole-person care<br />

spiritual needs of those<br />

with chronic disabling<br />

illness. Spiritual care teams<br />

have been shown to help<br />

clinicians stay efficient and<br />

provide quality spiritual<br />

care at the same time in a<br />

wide variety of inpatient<br />

and outpatient, secular and<br />

faith-based care environments.<br />

In this seminar, the<br />

author of CMDA’s popular<br />

Grace Prescriptions course<br />

will describe an exciting<br />

way for Christian health<br />

professionals to form teams<br />

to provide whole-person<br />

care in most any healthcare<br />

environment and the capacity<br />

to increase the quality of<br />

patient care.<br />

In this panel discussion,<br />

a multi-disciplinary team<br />

from Lawndale Christian<br />

Health Center, Chicago,<br />

led by clinical psychologist,<br />

Kathryn McLean, will focus<br />

on the opportunities and<br />

challenges encountered<br />

in the development<br />

of Medically Assisted<br />

Treatment services for<br />

opioid and substance<br />

abuse patients, including 1)<br />

fostering a patient-centered<br />

approach to engaging<br />

patient’s needs and<br />

experiences 2) developing<br />

processes and capacity<br />

for interdisciplinary team<br />

members 3) showing and<br />

sharing the love of God<br />

through relational care.<br />

The church is God’s<br />

therapeutic community,<br />

intended to minister healing<br />

to the nations (all types<br />

of people). Healing in the<br />

scriptures is always a holistic<br />

thing, which includes<br />

mental and behavioral<br />

health issues. Yet too often<br />

the church shies away from<br />

its mission when it comes<br />

to mental health, adding<br />

to the stigma instead of<br />

promoting healing. This<br />

session will walk through<br />

a pathway to establishing<br />

a mental health/licensed<br />

professional counseling<br />

ministry in local churches<br />

and in charitable medical<br />

clinics.<br />

Myron Glick Bob Paeglow Amy Richardson Beth Brown Steve Noblett<br />

The present political<br />

climate comes as a shock to<br />

many of us who have fought<br />

for years to see a more just<br />

health care system and who<br />

have committed to help<br />

aliens, refugees and asylee<br />

seekers in this country.<br />

What does this mean to<br />

the poorest and most<br />

vulnerable among us, and<br />

what should followers of<br />

Jesus do? This session will<br />

explore the rich tradition<br />

of Biblical advocacy on<br />

behalf of the poorest<br />

and most vulnerable<br />

throughout history. What<br />

does advocacy mean for<br />

us today? What does it<br />

mean to have a prophetic<br />

voice? How can we make a<br />

difference not just providing<br />

good care to individuals but<br />

also advocating for a more<br />

just society that reflects the<br />

Kingdom of God?<br />

(repeat)<br />

This workshop is designed<br />

to be spiritually refreshing<br />

and encouraging for those<br />

growing weary or feeling<br />

burnt out. Drawing on<br />

many years of fighting the<br />

good fight of faith, Dr.<br />

Bob Paeglow, founder<br />

for Koinonia Primary Care<br />

in Albany, NY, will share<br />

testimony from his own life<br />

and ministry to illustrate<br />

principles that will help you<br />

to keep on keeping on.<br />

Rooted in Hebrews 12:2<br />

“For the joy set before Him<br />

Jesus endured the cross”,<br />

participants will experience<br />

insight in how to cultivate<br />

joy in their ministry.<br />

Bringing effective change to<br />

an organization requires a<br />

plan. Logic models provide<br />

a visual blueprint for how<br />

changes unfold and what<br />

expected changes may occur.<br />

They are useful for both<br />

new and existing programs<br />

and initiatives, as they can<br />

help clarify program strategies,<br />

identify appropriate<br />

targets, write effective grant<br />

proposals, and make planning<br />

time more efficient.<br />

This session will give participants<br />

an overview of a logic<br />

model and will walk through<br />

the steps of creating a picture<br />

of the steps needed to<br />

bring change. Participants<br />

will learn how logic models<br />

can be used during planning,<br />

implementation, and<br />

evaluation stages.<br />

Your first board was likely<br />

recruited among your circle<br />

of acquaintances, rounding<br />

up those that would provide<br />

the support you felt was most<br />

needed at the time. Now<br />

you are growing. So is your<br />

staff, your budget, your need<br />

for space – and the need<br />

for some tough decisions.<br />

You need a different type<br />

of board member. This<br />

session addresses the critical<br />

process of board transition<br />

that happens when there<br />

is a mix of founding board<br />

members and newly recruited<br />

community members<br />

that may have a different<br />

expectation of what board<br />

membership means. How<br />

do you keep the new board<br />

members engaged? How<br />

do you temper the culture of<br />

entitledment that founding<br />

members sometimes bring to<br />

the table? How do you phase<br />

out board members that<br />

perhaps need to move on?<br />

“We envision a movement<br />

of God’s people who<br />

choose daily to bring<br />

healing to marginalized<br />

communities in the name<br />

of Jesus.” This is your<br />

opportunity to meet with<br />

the leadership of <strong>CCHF</strong><br />

to hear what is being<br />

done to strengthen and<br />

encourage this growing<br />

movement. Steve Noblett<br />

and Board members will<br />

share about the strengths<br />

and bottlenecks that affect<br />

those committed to living<br />

out the gospel through<br />

healthcare among the<br />

poor, and what we can<br />

do together to nurture<br />

and develop the Christian<br />

mission in healthcare in our<br />

nation.<br />
