Missionaries are sent to reproduce themselves spiritually. Yet how do you do that in the midst of a busy clinical and hospital schedule? This seminar will equip you with a biblical model and a simple time-sensitive plan to build and multiply the number of Christ-followers and spiritual leaders among your patients, colleagues, and others on your mission field.

This session will focus on important priorities, challenges and risks encountered in disaster relief. A brief introduction to the Disaster Paradigm© based on the AMA’s Disaster Life Support Courses will be reviewed.
Disaster response provides tremendous opportunities for compassion ministry and short-term mission teams. The 7 Standards of Excellence in Short-Term Mission will be reviewed in the context of disaster relief. These standards
help to insure appropriate focus on long term relief and recovery, participation and empowerment of national workers, and prevention of dependence and paternalism.
Join us as Global Project directors Connie Jarlsberg and Renee Lick along with student participants share lessons learned and the way God transformed them and their Ugandan ministry partners as they served and learned together.
