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 />

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 />

at an inner-city psychosocial<br />
rehabilitation program<br />
such that 100% of the<br />

how to implement spiritual<br />
interventions in the process<br />
of transforming persons in<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 />

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 />

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 />
among the poor in Augusta,<br />
Georgia.<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 />
limits clinicians’ ability to<br />
provide whole-person care<br />
that considers the physical,<br />
psychological, social, and<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 />
