Recorded on 8 October 2026 for ICMDA Webinars.Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Paul Hudson.Historically tied to Western colonialism, modern medical missions face growing scepticism and calls for retreat. But what does Scripture say?Join our global webinar as we examine such challenges through a biblical lens. We will discover that the true barrier isn't Western culture itself, but the universal human impulse toward pride. We’ll examine the roots of our problem.Come ground your medical calling in Scriptural wisdom and help us shape a more humble, God-glorifying mission vision that honours all nations and cultures.Dr. Paul Hudson began his internal medicine training at Johns Hopkins and worked as an epidemiologist at the US Centers for Disease Control.He came to Christ while in medical school, where he and his wife were called to missions. With his family, he served as a medical missionary with SIM in Ethiopia, Nepal, and Thailand for over three decades – working in clinical care, community health, and HIV/AIDS.He has written Healthcare and the Mission of God: Finding Joy in the Crucible of Ministry. He and his wife, Clare, live in Harrisonburg, Virginia.For information on future ICMDA webinars visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/For more from Dr Paul visit https://pauljhudson.com/

Recorded on 10 September 2026 for ICMDA Webinars.Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Michael OtsIn his work in universities around Europe, Michael regularly interacts with some of the biggest objections to the Christian faith. We will look at what the biggest objections are and consider a number of principles that will help us go about responding to them in a way that clearly and warmly points people to Jesus as the 'reason for the hope that we have.'Michael Ots grew up in the UK and started following Jesus at a young age. Living in one of the most multicultural cities in the country he was challenged to consider whether his childhood faith was worth continuing in and whether it stood up to serious questioning. His school years were a significant time when he grew in the conviction that Christianity is objectively true and worth sharing with others. After studying theology in Scotland, Michael went on to become the Minister of Evangelism at Lansdowne Baptist Church in Bournemouth, where he lived and worked for five years before becoming a travelling speaker.Michael’s passion comes from his own understanding of Christianity and how it informs every area of life, from questions of morality and ethics, to reasons for hope and justice.Michael is regularly invited to speak on the Christian Faith at University Events and Christian Unions both in the UK and across Europe. He is the Field Director of FEUER (The Fellowship of Evangelistis in the Universities of Europe) - a continent wide network of evangelists seeking to promote the public proclamation of the Gospel in the universities of Europe. He is on the extended regional team of IFES. He is also a member of the Association of Evangelists - a UK charity that supports freelance evangelists.Michael is the author of numerous books including What Kind of God? which was nominated for a major UK book award and has been translated into seven languages, as well as But is it true?, What Kind of Hope? and his latest release, Making Sense of Life.Michael lives in the Midlands of England with his wife Rebecca who is an airline pilot. They are regular and active members of Knighton Free Church.For information on future ICMDA webinars visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/For more from Michael visit: https://www.michaelots.com/

Recorded on 3 September 2026 for ICMDA Webinars.Dr Felicia Wong chairs a webinar with Beverley ShepherdWhilst we can learn much from courses and books on effective leadership there is one vital ingredient, for the Christian, that is missing from these ‘success’ recipes – strategic prayer.Many believers seem unaware of the spiritual battle that is present in their workplaces. The enemy’s job description is to rob, kill and destroy and that includes sabotaging our work.Though there is no blueprint for how to pray strategically for our areas of responsibility, we need to recognise and use the weapons in our armoury. This is a battle that God equips us to both fight and win!Bev is a management trainer and developmental coach, specialising in the areas of leadership, team dynamics, conflict resolution and stress resilience. Her clients include manufacturing organisations, the NHS, local government, charities, and church leaders.She has worked alongside LICC for over 25 years as an associate speaker. In 2011 she initiated their prayer journeys, designed to motivate, encourage and equip Christians to pray in and for their workplaces.Her spiritual journey has encompassed many traditions including two years as a Bible student (Cornhill Training course), undertaking the Ignatian Spiritual exercises, and currently worshipping in an exuberant multinational Pentecostal Baptist church.For information on future ICMDA webinars visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/
