This lecture delves into the integration of subspecialty skills, particularly cleft palate repair, to provide a platform to advance the gospel among unreached people groups. By intertwining the healing art of plastic surgery with the principles of the Gospel, it highlights a holistic approach to medical missions. The talk also underscores the significance of sustainable, long-term engagement, aiming to create enduring health improvements and foster community well-being.

Are you:
- Interested in mission and wondering what it really means for you and your family, and if you have what it takes?
- Curious to know how one may start and sustain a ministry in resource-limited settings in a foreign country from scratch with no money, no team, and no knowledge about far too many things?
- Looking for practical tools and resources to prepare for mission?
Through the years, God has overwhelmed the Samoutou family with His tremendous grace, provision, and protection. Joyce will be the first to tell you how many humble pies she has eaten and lessons she has learnt along the way - from practicing medicine in a way that her training had not prepared her for, being far away from family and the world she knew, running a charity, leading a team, handling tricky and scary situations, raising a family, and getting over herself. She has also picked up several practical tips and tools along the way that can be helpful to those considering or having already embarked on overseas missions.
In this session, participants will, through the firsthand experience of a missionary-medic- homeschooling parent who co-founded an international ministry:
- Learn what is involved in starting, fundraising, and running an international non-profit medical organization in resource-limited settings, the challenges as well as useful practical suggestions in overcoming them.
- Be encouraged and empowered to embark and thrive on long-term missions as health professionals, spouses, and parents with ageing parents back home.
- Have an opportunity to ask questions that they have always wanted to ask a missionary who is happy to share with humor, candor, and vulnerability.

In both domestic and international situations, dental needs often go unmet (for multiple reasons). Untreated dental conditions, if neglected long enough, can turn into dental emergencies. These emergency dental patients are often misdiagnosed and/or go untreated in a medical setting. This lecture will serve to enlighten/empower non-dentists with some basic diagnostic and treatment skills to manage dental emergencies in a non-dental setting.

The practice of medicine is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

You want to live a life of significance that is humbly aligned to God’s purposes. In order to do that, you need to understand God’s call for, or will in, your life. The problem is, it doesn’t seem clear, and everyone you meet has a different perspective on “calling”, which makes you feel confused and stuck. What you need are tools to help you discern God’s call.
