Welcome to
REMEDY We are so glad you made the decision to join us at First Baptist Orlando this weekend. REMEDY is designed to help you to discover avenues of service in God’s kingdom and be inspired by experienced and passionate servants of Christ who have made missional living the central theme of their careers. You will learn about practical ways to use your training, passion and gifting as you serve in healthcare missions in the future. At Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), our mission is to motivate, educate and equip Christian healthcare professionals to glorify God. We believe healthcare missionaries are amazingly effective and powerful at accomplishing just that. We have invited speakers and exhibitors who are excellent ambassadors and communicators in their areas of global healthcare missions to share with you. We want to thank the leadership and staff of First Baptist Orlando for their welcome and hospitality. They have been enthusiastic, supportive and generous in opening their beautiful facility AND offering the help of volunteers to make this weekend a success. We also want to thank Mr. Will Rogers and the team at MedicalMissions.com for their help over the last two years as we planned and prepared. The Global Missions Health Conference (GMHC) team members in Louisville have been a huge help to us in this process. They played a key role in developing the website and as advisers and co-planners with us. Just a word about the logo for Remedy, designed by Jason Stevens. The circular symbol is from the fourth century AD Greek letters Chi (χ) Rho (ρ), which early Roman Christians placed on tombs and in prominent places to identify themselves with Christ, their King and Savior. It also reminds us of the familiar Rx we use in medicine to prescribe a drug or a healing remedy. Jesus Christ IS the remedy who brings healing for the sins of the nations. The prophet Jeremiah declared, “Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise” (Jeremiah 17:14, NIV 1984). During this conference, our prayer is that you will hear the voice of God’s Spirit and be willing to be sent to “...preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick” (Luke 9:2, NIV 1984) just as Jesus’ disciples were sent out. What an incredible privilege we have in healthcare with the capacity to heal, teach and bring spiritual transformation all in one encounter, just as our Lord Jesus did. No matter where you are in your journey with Christ or in healthcare, we pray God will use what you discover and experience here at REMEDY: HEALING FOR THE NATIONS to help you prepare for future ministry in healthcare missions to HIS ULTIMATE GLORY. Fanning the flame until He comes to get us,
Mike Chupp, MD CMDA Executive Vice President
