Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Steve MidgleyWords matter. Every Christian believer knows that. The gospel comes to us as a word and with our words we can either praise or curse (James 3:9). Thinking about the way words are used in our churches, not just in our preaching, but also in our conversations is vital.
The Bible urges us toward a one-anothering ministry which encourages, exhorts and builds up – speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) is a crucial part of church life. This webinar will consider how encouraging godly conversational ministry helps us to love one another and builds up the body of Christ.
Steve MidgleyExecutive Director at BCUKSteve Midgley is the Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK. He was, until 2022, the Senior Minister of Christ Church Cambridge where he continues to have a part-time role. Steve has taught courses in biblical counselling in a number of theological colleges as a visiting lecturer. Steve is a board member of CCEF and of the Biblical Counseling Coalition. He trained as a psychiatrist before being ordained. He is married to Beth, with three adult children and two grandsons.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Prof John WhitehallIn recent years, the issue of transgender identity in children has leapt from the periphery of public consciousness to centre stage of a cultural drama played out in the media, courts, schools, hospitals, families, and in the minds and bodies of children. It is a kind of utopian religion with committed believers.
Join us as we discuss the facts - how common is gender dysphoria, what are associated mental health problems, what is the risk of self-harm and suicide, what is the treatment and what is appropriate medical intervention?
Professor John Whitehall is the chair of CMDF Australia and Professor of Paediatrics at Western Sydney University. His 50 year career began at Sydney University, continued through developing countries and western Sydney as a general paediatrician, then focussed on neonatology before coming to WSU.
For 15 years he was Director of Neonatal Intensive Care in Townsville, North Queensland, which included ante-natal diagnosis, resuscitation, management and transportation of premature, dysmorphic and sick neonates, many of whom were Indigenous.
In Townsville, he was deeply involved in the establishment of the medical school at James Cook University and, for 20 years, taught modules of Tropical Paediatrics in the Masters programme in the School of Public Health. In recent years, he has also worked as a consultant physician in PNG, Sri Lanka and Madagascar. Currently, he teaches, leads research and has duties in general paediatrics.

Dr Alex Bolek chairs a webinar with Dr Chris JenkinsThe idea of unanswered prayer being a blessing may seem like a contradiction of terms. We feel we are blessed when our requests are answered, when we receive what we ask for and think we need.
The truth is, however, that there are needs in our lives we don’t know about and a lack of understanding of important truths that God wants to address and the only way to do it is through unanswered prayer. Actually, delayed answer to prayer is more accurate even though at the time it feels like unanswered prayer. Today we will look at one reason why our prayers may be “unanswered.”
Chris has been a Christian for five decades. Before going into family medicine, he worked with a missionary organization starting adult literacy ministries in Africa and Asia in order to help Christians read the Bible for themselves and to also give them a tool to reach their non-Christian illiterate neighbors by teaching them to read while sharing the gospel with them.
He now works in medical education in the US as well as parts of the 10-40 window including the Middle East, Central, South and East Asia and elsewhere. He has been learning spiritual resilience throughout his Christian journey and finds that in every stage of life he must lean harder on the Lord, dig deeper into his Word, and pray for the spiritual resources needed to make it through trials with faith, integrity, love, and obedience intact.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Prof Andrew Tomkins
"Corruption, an undeniable reality in the health sector, is arguably the most serious ethical crisis in medicine today... Corruption traps millions of people in poverty, perpetuates the existing inequalities in income and health, drains the available resources undermines people’s access to healthcare, increases the costs of patient care and, by setting up a vicious cycle, contributes to ill health and suffering." - Subrata Chattopadhyay
This webinar discusses the challenges facing healthcare professionals and what can be done practically to combat injustices in medicine.
After postgraduate training, Andrew worked in a new medical school in Nigeria, establishing new management regimens and collaborative research on the interaction of infection and nutrition in children. After research training in nutrition at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Andrew worked in the MRC units in Malumfashi, Nigeria and the Gambia. Subsequently his research team established a range of applied research and training projects in resource poor countries, based at the Centre for International Child Health (now the Institute for Global Health) UCL London. Andrew has assisted UNICEF, WHO, the World Bank & national governments in the development of their child health and nutrition programmes. Andrew worked with Tearfund UK and overseas partners to develop church-based programmes for prevention, treatment & care of disease. He is now “retired” but does not know how to do it and is presently supporting programmes in northern Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Sudan & Zambia.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Vineeth Jaison
Hear how medical professionals respond to the challenges of COVID and how we can adjust our practices using technology accordingly.
Dr. Vineeth Jaison is currently working as Associate Professor in Neurology at Christian Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana, India. He did his undergraduate, post graduate and Neurology training in CMC, Ludhiana. He grew up in a family of missionary doctors and would often visit his maternal uncle Laji Verghese who was Surgeon at Lady Willingdon hospital in Manali, Himachal Pradesh. He spent two years after graduation in a mission hospital at Robertsganj in Uttar Pradesh. Where he took care of Pediatrics and General Medicine while helping his wife Dr. Preethi Paul manage Obs and Gyne. Doing Ultrasounds for Obstetrics was a part of his routine work. He also spent three months managing the eye OPD with over 100 patients a day.
Often during that time he would consult his seniors for difficult cases in the clinic or admitted in the ward. He also observed the immense capacity for well trained nurses to manage repetitive yet high skilled tasks.
During his DM Neurology training he set up a Physician assistant programme for task shifting highly skilled yet repetitive procedures to address the shortage of doctors. He has worked closely with Dr. Jeyaraj Pandian current Vice President of World Stroke Organisation and has developed a keen interest in Public health.
These laid the foundation for him to see the value in telemedicine now as qualified Neurologist.
Recently he along with his colleagues initiated and implemented an institutional telemedicine programme with over 70 consultants and 30 specialties, which has been a blessing for patients during COVID.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr James Paul
Contemporary sociologists argue that the way we see the world is socially created within cultures. “Girls wear pink and boys wear blue,” for example, is not a universal law but something created within twentieth-century Western culture through discourse around what it means to be male and female.
If reality is socially created, then it can be recreated. But is this true of all of reality?
Can gender, religion, morality, and even our own humanness be shaped and reshaped as we choose?Dr James Paul is director of the English branch of L’Abri Fellowship and before that he practised as a doctor in London, specialising in hospice care for the terminally ill. Many of the questions raised in his recent book What on Earth Is Heaven? are ones that people have asked him in these settings. He has been a speaker at Word Alive and European Leadership Forum, and regularly addresses university Christian Unions and the Christian Medical Fellowship students' conference, as well as speaking at L'Abri conferences globally.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Prof John Wyatt
Artificial intelligence is everywhere and is seems as though science fiction fantasies are starting to come true. It’s hard to separate the hype from reality but analysts predict that deploying AI in healthcare could save hundreds of thousands of lives every year and dramatically reduce healthcare costs in developed countries.
At the same time many countries with less established health infrastructure are starting to see the remarkable potential of bespoke AI systems. What are the ethical, societal and spiritual issues which lie behind these extraordinary developments and how can Christians prepare for the coming wave of AI innovation and disruption?

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Yaw Perbi
Africa is the most Christian continent in the world today. This talk will celebrate this momentous occasion in world history tracing God’s goodness to Africa in scripture and throughout history, clearly demonstrating that Africa and Africans have always been central to God's missional purposes, not an afterthought. We will unveil the teeming potentials as well as teething problems of African mission. This African lead in global Christianity is only going to increase into the foreseeable future, thus these projections call for preparation in order to produce the quantity and quality of African Christians who will be faithful carriers of the authentic gospel to all nations!
Dr Perbi practised medicine in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire and is an author-publisher, preacher and international speaker. He has authored numerous articles, manuals and about 20 books including the highly-acclaimed Africa to the Rest on which this talk is based. Yaw’s goal is to ‘finish the finishables’ by proclaiming God’s word to ‘all nations’. For four years, he served as pastor of Montreal Chinese Alliance Grace Church, Canada. He also served as president of International Student Ministries Canada for eight years and is the Co-founder for the Pan African International Students (PAIS), which envisions a movement of Christian International Students leaving Africa to other continents as a mission force.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Rev Dr Stephen Ko
In 1 Corinthians 6:19 we are reminded that our 'bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit'. Christ incarnate is deity in flesh, and His spirit is incarnate in us. Living and worshiping incarnationally is consciously embracing what the Creator has designed in His image, from the finest, microscopic details to vital organs within our body, enabling the Holy Spirit to work in us.
Weaving together insights from faith, science, and medicine, this webinar will reveal the marvellous ways in which our physical and spiritual health can prepare us to become instruments of God's healing in the world.
Reverend Stephen Ko, MD, MA, MPH, MDiv, serves as Senior Pastor of New York Chinese Alliance Church in NYC. Dr. Ko’s healthcare specialties include pediatrics, preventive medicine and public health. He is currently Adjunct Professor at Alliance Theological Seminary.
Previously, he served as a Global Health Professor at Boston University and a Medical Officer for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He has worked extensively in Africa and Southeast Asia on diseases of epidemic potential, helping low and low-middle income countries implement their national public health programs. Writing at the intersection of faith, medicine, and public health is a particular passion.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Karen Rispin
Many faith-based health providers intend to follow in the footsteps of Jesus when they reach out to heal. If you look carefully, most of those Jesus healed were people living with chronic disabilities. Yet this population is often neglected by many faith-based health providers.
The World Health Organization sees disability as one of the fastest growing health problems. People are living longer; diabetes is rampant, and children born with disabilities are more likely to live. Families dealing with disability often feel that this is due to a curse or shameful behaviour. This sparks spiritual anxiety and leads to questions.
Karen Rispin is Project Manager, Assistive Technology Catalyst Project with IDEAS and BethanyKids. She is passionate about reaching out with true hope by catalyzing links to resources to facilitate wheelchair services and care for those with disabilities at faith based hospitals. A missionary kid who grew up in Kenya, she has led research teams, published on appropriate assistive technology for low resource areas and serves on international committees. Karen’s desire is that those with disabilities receive appropriate provision of AT along with medical, social and spiritual care.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/
