Daniel came back from the forum all abuzz with meeting new people from churches all over this great nation and reconnecting with others we've met before. Deb Highfill is the new director of Healthcare Ministries. Bob McGurty, the outgoing director is stepping into a new role over at the Missions Headquarters and we will miss him.
Can you say, "Co-op"??!!! That is the new word of the day at the MEF. Timberline Church in Colorado was on hand to lead the way and tell how churches can co-op with each other and HCM to put together medical mission trips. Smaller churches [or churches who just don't have the medical volunteers] that have never been able to send medical teams out are now being able to be part of medical missions.
HCM [www.hopethatheals.org] comes along and provides: training, team leaders, medical supplies, missions manual for leading teams, healthcare education and so much more. Empowering the local churches here in the US to be able to send medical evangelism teams and bring "Hope That Heals" to the World. All this in conjunction with host missionaries who are making a long term impact in their country of ministry.
It is so exciting to see the body of Christ come together and work to reach out and be the hand of Christ to a hurting world!
OK... so what does the buffalo have to do with the MEF??? Nothing! Except, I must be a little more specific with Daniel when I send the camera with him next time.
He meets people from all over this nation and comes home with 5 pictures of a buffalo! His excuse... "Well, It was one BIG buffalo head!"
