HealthServe Day
On July 12 we held our first HealthServe Day’ at Oak Hill College in North London. This was in the middle weekend of the fortnight long annual Residential Refresher Course ( http://www.healthserve.org/resref.htm)that we run jointly with the UK Christian Medical Fellowship. Around a hundred people joined us over the course of the afternoon to hear speakers tackling practical issues about serving overseas as a health professional in a mission situation. Dr Eldryd Parry of the Tropical Health Education Trust gave a stirring and unorthodox presentation on the major global issues of our time and how we can respond as Christian health professionals. In evening, Dr Bill Gould spoke at our 125 anniversary celebration and thanksgiving service at the chapel at Oak Hill – reminding us not just of the history of mission mobilisation of which we are a part but of the expanding challenges that lay before us. A full report will be published in the autumn. In the meantime, our thanks go out to all those who were involved on the day.
