“ Dr. Bill” William Morehouse, MD

We all know that prayer is “where the rubber hits the road” in our faith, but how do we demonstrate and incorporate the powerful instrument of intercession in our daily lives and especially in our patient encounters? How do we carry the difficulties faced by patients to God and communicate the relevant aspects of the “Good News” back to patients in the clinical setting.

Problem addressed:

We spend a lot of time taking clinical care of people, but how does prayer fit in? Does God want us to pray openly with people? Is verbal prayer appropriate? How can we do it so that it will be received?

Morgan Wills, MD, MATS

Not all those in the CCHF movement are called to be medical professionals, but all of us will at some point be called to become patients. How do we do that faithfully? And how might we encourage our current or future patients to do so? Using stories from Scripture, his career serving immigrants and refugees at Siloam Health in Nashville, and his own recent personal experience as a wounded healer, Dr. Wills will invite workshop participants into a vision of what it means to follow Christ in the often confusing world of modern medicine. By situating illness and medicine within a larger story, we will consider how Jesus offers the illness experience as an opportunity to disciple all of us--on both sides of the white coat.

Clarkston, Georgia has been a center for refugee resettlement since the 1980s. As a result, this small town just outside Atlanta has earned the title of “America’s most diverse square mile.” In 2017 Ethne Health was founded as a primary care clinic to serve this population and show Jesus’ love. In this session, the founding physicians of Ethne will explore the unique challenges of providing holistic care for refugees in a primary care setting. We will review how a person becomes a refugee, discuss the biblical mandate for refugee care, and tell the story of how Clarkston's unique makeup Clarkston has shaped our response to Jesus’s command to “love thy neighbor.”

Recent research has emerged documenting supernatural activity of healing in modern times. This session will survey that research. Many Western and American Christians either do not believe or live as if they do not believe supernatural healing is possible.
