I'll share what we did as a team to incorporate 10-15 hours of corporate prayer into our weekly schedule while working full time as an NGO and the difference it made on team life, personal and spiritual lives and how it expanded our hearts for the people and region in which we were living. I'll share practical ways to increase prayer times overseas and explain how vital it is for health, fruit and longevity.

The Bible contains a narrative, a story, about God's gracious plan in Christ to redeem us from our sin. Believers are brought into that story. This story isn't something we just know and learn about but we are called to take our place in it. Missions is hard-wired to that story. Rather than thinking of our basis for missions as simply a collection of "missions" texts (and there are many!), the Bible tells a story that spans from one end of Scripture to the other--and you are part of it.

Many mission hospitals around the world do not have access to Rehab Professionals. Early patient mobility has been shown to improve patient’s outcomes. Visiting Medical Professionals, Doctors, Therapists, Nurses and other professionals can play an important role in teaching non rehab professional clinicians in mission hospitals when and how to mobilize even some of the sickest or most severely injured patients. This workshop will review some basic rehab patient mobility techniques.
