    The Idol of Effectiveness-- Redefining Success: EXPANDED

    In a world that loves a “rags to riches” story, Jesus calls us into his upside-down kingdom where success is not always apparent. Dan* and Hope* have served for over a decade in medically underserved areas of the United States, and most recently, in an unreached, unengaged people group in the Horn of Africa. Drawing from biblical insights and real-world experiences, we will delve into the idea that failure is not merely a disruption but a transformative process integral to our mission.

    Chronic disease amid chronic poverty

    Infectious diseases have been the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout history. Today, however, the burden of infectious diseases is diminishing while the mobility from chronic, non-infectious diseases is growing dramatically. Low-resource nations are particularly ill-equipped to manage diabetes, hypertension, chronic lung, and chronic heart diseases. This session illuminates the power of lifestyle improvements, continuity of primary care, and provision of life-saving medications.

    Revolutionizing Compassionate Patient Care in Low-Resource Settings through Digital Systems

    Quality digital systems in low-resource settings empower and engage healthcare workers to provide high-quality care for every person.

    Creating Healthy Communities: a Church-based, Community Health Worker-led Initiative

    We aimed to assist church members in Hispanic churches to become certified and trained CHWs and mentor them to lead a six-month diabetes self-management program. We found that raising up individuals from the church to become health leaders (CHWs) in their community is a promising model to increase the reach of the church while reducing health disparities.
