Welcome to
REMEDY Yahoo! Thank you for opting out of other engagements and activities and choosing instead to invest this weekend at REMEDY WEST. You will be glad you did! We designed REMEDY WEST with you in mind. We invited the best speakers, experienced and passionate servants of Christ who have made missional living the central theme of their lives. Once you get to know them, you will want to imitate what they have done and what they are doing. In a world deficient of worthy heroes, they will be your heroes like none other. Watch and listen closely to these heroes of the faith! At Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), we aim to motivate, educate and equip healthcare students and practicing professionals to glorify God in all we do. We believe Christian healthcare professionals have the best opportunity to influence people for the kingdom of God, both here in the U.S. and around the world. We want to thank Dr. Chuck Sands and California Baptist University (CBU) for joining with us, not just in allowing us to hold this event on their campus, but also in agreeing to co-sponsor REMEDY WEST. They invested heavily with us so we can make student registration fees more reasonable. CBU is committed to similar kingdom purposes and outcomes, making it an easy decision to sponsor this conference with us. Just a word about the logo for REMEDY WEST, 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 as followers of Christ, their King and Savior. This combined symbol also bears some resemblance to Rx, which is from the ancient Latin word for “recipe” meaning “to take,” which long predates its current meaning most often attached to food. Healthcare professionals prescribe medicines and/or procedures as the healing remedy for physical, mental or emotional illness. We believe Jesus Christ is the remedy that offers ultimate healing to all people everywhere in order to forgive our sins and heal our broken relationships with God, the one who created the world and everyone in it. 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, we pray you will listen for the voice of the LORD and respond eagerly and willingly to what you hear from Him. We pray you will follow Jesus’ example and words to His disciples: “Tell everyone about the Kingdom of God, and heal the sick” (Luke 9:2, paraphrase). Yours is an incredible and unique privilege with the capacity to heal, teach and offer spiritual reconciliation with God, all in one encounter, just as Jesus did. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey with Jesus or in healthcare, we pray God will use what you discover and experience here at REMEDY WEST to help you prepare for your future mission in healthcare, here in the U.S. or somewhere around the globe, all to the glory of God. Fanning the flame until He comes for us,
Mike Chupp, MD Chief Executive Officer
