Why should I attend the medical mission seminar?

At our medical mission seminar, we aim to engage, equip, and empower medical missionaries to impact their world for Christ. To accomplish this, we offer inspiring keynote addresses, relevant sessions, and opportunities to join various medical mission works around the world. We are incredibly fortunate to have a high percentage of long-term missionaries present each year, and a large number of college students seeking opportunities to engage in missions. The intergenerational fellowship is a unique aspect of our seminar that we celebrate. 

Who hosts this seminar?

Internations Health Care Foundation hosts this seminar, on behalf of the many medical mission organizations rooted in the Churches of Christ. Learn more about our ministry here: www.ihcf.net

Additionally, we are incredibly grateful to have attendees from many different churches and backgrounds. Everyone is welcome at our seminar, and based on feedback we receive, everyone is greatly benefits as well. 

Is this only for health professionals? 

No. A wide variety of skills are required for medical missions to flourish, so we have sessions that will appeal to all. These sessions include general preparedness for missions, security on the mission field, and ways to promote your ministry. 

Can I set up a display booth?

Yes, we still have display spots available. Please contact us to request display space.

Is the banquet a fundraiser?

No, the price of the banquet only allows us to cover the costs of the banquet room and the catering. Rather, it is a celebration of medical missions, past, present, and future. Be prepared to share a table with long-time medical missionaries, together with college students looking for inspiration and opportunities to serve. Awards for service are presented and an inspiring keynote is enjoyed by all. 

Is the banquet formal?

No, everyone dresses how they feel most comfortable.

Are CEU's offered?

Unfortunately, to keep the seminar affordable for all, we are unable to carry the expense of offering CEU's at this time.
