CMDA Northeast Winter Conference 2010 |
|
|
Come to the Chesapeake Bay to be refreshed by God’s creation, His word and His people. A few days away from the busyness of practice or training may be just what you need to get a renewed sense of who you are in Jesus and why you are in Medicine or Dentistry. Come spend time with your family and colleagues in Christ from across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. There will be opportunities to encourage and be encouraged through small group time, conversing over meals, and quiet moments with God.
Theme:
If Anyone Would Come After Me: A Call to Consecration, Commitment,
Conscience, and Commission
This year's theme gives healthcare professionals a chance to step
back and ask themselves some questions like, "Who am I in Christ?" "Why
am I in healthcare?" "To what has God called me as a follower of
Christ?"
Come explore what it means to live out Christ's Words: If
anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross
daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it
for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very
self? (Luke 9:23-35)

WC 2009 Testimonies:

|
Taking time out for God, getting away from my daily routine and
schedule was extremely beneficial.
I returned home with a stronger desire to witness to patients; with encouragement and boldness to pray with them and press on in my walk with the Lord.
I was drawn closer to Him, reminded of His love for me as His child and encouraged by His calling in my life.
It helped me refocus and renew a passion for the lord; to know Him and seek to share Him in the hospital
I have new energy to serve right where I am at; to continue to wait for God’s timing.
