Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Gene Rudd

How can Christian healthcare workers best find joy in their vocations? Is your life marked by joy? Why is it that most of our neighbours in the western world (including our healthcare colleagues) report being dissatisfied/unhappy? We will look at the underlying causes and the solution.

Dr Alex Bolek chairs a webinar with Dr Andy Bannister

Muslims are wonderfully easy people with whom to start conversations about faith. But when we try and share our faith with Muslim friends and colleagues, how do we answer the questions or objections they raise about Christianity?

In this webinar, Dr Andy Bannister will draw on his 25 years experience of conversations with Muslims to help us understand the common questions Muslims ask, why ask them, and how we can share the gospel through them.

A highly in demand speaker, Andy speaks and teaches throughout the UK, Europe, Canada, the USA, and the wider world.

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. Yaw and his wife, Anyele, run Perbi Cubs, an EdTech providing literacy programs to thousands of children. They have seven children.

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.

His latest book is Faith Embodied, on how to live and worship incarnationally and glorify God with our bodies.
