Enduring Hard Times with Joy

Living and working in settings with overwhelming poverty, malnutrition, disease, and death can result in accumulating stress, trauma, and burnout. How is it possible to endure in these settings for years? What strategies enable us to not only endure but to do so with joy? We'll discuss the value of remembering with gratitude, lamenting in community with national and missionary colleagues, and looking forward with hope.

The Grand Healing Narrative and Our Unique Niche

Each of our lives is a narrative. God’s word is a meta-narrative, a grand healing narrative. Weaving these narratives together in the context of the people we serve leads to missional living where ever we are called. Given our unique talents, gifts, passions, cultures and professions, how do we discern and sustain our respective niche in the purposeful and wonderful story of God?

How To Take a Spiritual History

Spirituality is an important component of health, and assessing a patient's spirituality is a cultural competence of healthcare professionals. This session will review secular “best practice” guidelines about spiritual assessment and provide a framework for taking a spiritual history during our interactions with patients. Participants will role-play a variety of spiritual history-taking scenarios.

In this session, you'll learn how to routinely and confidently assess your patient’s spirituality, and practice your spiritual history-taking skills.
