Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing
Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where
you have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and
said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Stop
clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to
them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’ John 20:15-17
In a society that depersonalizes human beings, this Easter story acts like a powerful
reminder to the power of a “name”. When I was a registrar in Pediatric surgery, I was
looking after a child who had a nephrectomy for a Wilm’s tumor. Her official name was
Sobhupriya and I would call her that the first few times when I did her dressing. Then one
day I discovered she was called “Gudiya” or a doll by her family, a pet name. The next
time I got to her bedside I called her “Gudiya,” and she gave me a warm, wonderful smile
that lit the whole room. The power of being called by your own name!
We see the same phenomenon with Mary Magdalene who came to the Garden tomb to see
where the body of Jesus lay. She saws Jesus, but yet did not “see Him.” It was only when
Jesus called her by name, “Mary” that she suddenly came alive and recognized Jesus.
Note also how Jesus gives both Mary and the disciples a strong sense of belonging.
He says - Tell my “brethren” and also says “My father and your father and My God and
your God”. Remember that this is also our identity: “brothers of Christ having the same
Father.” What an encouragement!!
In a world where people are lonely and discouraged, this Easter story reminds us that we
should know people personally and call them by their names as we care and look after
them. We can do this since we have a very secure identity!

SERBIA
Dr. Klara CMF of Serbia Report
We praise God for His goodness, grace and His love given for us at the cross.
Seminar on Grace Based Family
The One Night Parenting seminar with Tim and Darcy Kimmel from Phoenix was held on
March 19th 2015 in the Main Hall, PHZ in Novi Sad. It was organised by Christian Medical
Fellowship of Serbia and PHZ-Church.
A total of about 70 attended, mostly young couples from Novi Sad and also from the
surrounding cities. The participants were from 7 different churches and denominations.
Dr. Tim Kimmel spoke on the topic “Grace Based Families:-Treating the People We Love
the Way God Treats Us,” “Bringing the Best Out of Strong-willed Children,” and “Leading
Your Family Towards True Greatness:- Resisting the Lure of the Success Lie.”
Feedback: The host of the evening, Pastor, said, it is extremely valuable to hear a lecture
about the family where you learn a lot about the relationship with Jesus. Tim taught us
how to deepen our love toward God and how it relates to the understanding of God's
love for our family members. I have participated on seminars about Family, but this was
a valuable experience for me. I'm surprised to notice many mistakes within me. I often
paid attention to irrelevant details and thereby missed in my relationship with my wife and
children.
CMF members were involved in a very historical event. The First Balkan Marriage couple’s
Conference 20th to 22nd March on Grace Based Family. Te Conference was held in
Ethno village Stanisic-Bijeljina (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Eighty-five married couples
came together from Slovenia, Croatia, B&H, Rep.Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro.
Some of the Medics were encouraged to meet each other there.
National Oral Health Day Outreach was held on 23rd March at a Kindergarden in Novi
Sad. Workshop was managed by Dr. Klara K.D. Dentist, Vesna-Dental Healthcare
Assistant and Students of Dentistry. A Day for Oral Healthcare had an opportunity to
coordinate the workshop between the students of Dentistry from Medical University at a
Kindergarden, which is a regular Annual Program. Students have special opportunities
to learn practically to care for the children. They were excited to teach the children.
They gave additional training for children on technique of brushing teeth and gave out a
prepared poster on Healthy Teeth-game to share it with their family.

PRAYER WEEK IN JANUARY PRAYER WEEK 2015
Our Today's era has attack on marriages and many
divorces cause health problems.
The HCFI Europe Prayer Week 2015 was held at Sremski
Karlovci, Serbia and hosted by CMF of Serbia. It was a
privilege to spend a week with healthcare professionals
and others for the sake of the God’s Kingdom in the
healthcare where we have been called to serve. It was
a blessed time of personal quiet time with the Lord, fellowship, worship and prayer. The
meeting was held on the banks of the River Danube. It was an inspirational place to focus
and hear His voice. We kept apart a time to ‘count our blessings,’ and for exploring the
main theme of prayer week ‘Compassion and Building the Kingdom of God.’ During the
worship times, we seeked to stay closer to Him, listen and learn from our Lord how to
serve more compassionately according to His will and how to bring the reality of heaven
in our profession, not just the doctrine of heaven, but to build the Kingdom of God and to
manifest the heart of God (especially the Father’s) to our colleagues and patients. We
continue with building relations ‘Building as God builds - building relationally.’ We looked
at the River Danube every morning and enjoyed with songs, “The sun comes up, it’s a
new day dawning.” The river looked sometimes blue, sometimes grey, reflecting sky – we
asked – what are we reflecting? How do people see us? Are we bringing Hope of the future
by faith? The next themes were ‘What does it mean to be compassionate?’ and ‘What does
compassionate healthcare? We went through the Bible story of the Good Samaritan - a
stranger and from a different culture, like believers in the healthcare. We prayed for different
service and professionals at Healthcare, for hospitals and Departments and for the caregivers
to become more compassionate. Prayed to God to comfort in our fear and distress, disgrace
and the gap between the generations. God gave us much encouragement and some points
to pray:
1. The compassion and hope we need only comes from intimacy with Him.
2. Speak out blessings over people and places.
3. Replace complaining with Remembering that we are His temple and
4. We declare his mighty works and blessings!
5. Take risks and step out in faith.
6. Carry His presence into our workplaces even though suffering might come.
The Prayer Week had an afternoon guided tour at a local village, Sremski Karlovci and the
nearby city of Novi Sad, to take a look into the history and culture of the region. Two guests
took part in the evening session, a local pastor Bera and worshipper Darijo. The participants
were moved by the Spirit of the Lord to pray for the church and healthcare in the Balkans and
said ‘May they continue to sing a new song – a song of praise to our God.’

CENTRAL ASIA
Third Central Asia Christian Medical Congress from July 16th – 20th, 2015
Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan
Greetings from the land of Central
Asia. As 2014 ended, we would like
to share with you our plans for this
year. Our major event this year is
the Third Central Asia Christian
Medical Congress from July 16th –
20th, 2015, Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan
While many enjoyed being a part of
the last Congress in 2010, the good
news is that during these last four
years the Father has brought us new
medical professionals into the family and the Central Asia Christian Medical Union. Most of
them did not had a chance to meet the “extended” medical family since the last “reunions” as
this happen once in 5 years.
We would like to welcome them at this congress. It is always encouraging for both old and
new members to finally meet each other face to face and to get to know each other better.
We treasure these times of fellowship, time to share stories and testimonies, time to establish
close ties and most of all to realize that we are not alone in this (medical) world – we have a
Like Minded People Who Make A FAMILY!
The Theme of the Congress will be
The Future and Hope for Christian Medical Professionals of Central Asia
Central truth: Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the LORD,” plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
We are hoping to have about 200 medical professionals from all over Central Asia and we
welcome guests from all over the world.
We will not be able to do it without the help of our friends in bringing such a big family together.
Would you please consider prayerfully if you can help us in anyway. Overall cost will be
approximately 25,000 USD - one third will be covered by participants themselves or raised
locally and we need help in raising the rest of it. If you would like to help us financially or you
know someone who would like to help, please contact us (Secretaries of the CM Union) at
dinadoc2410@gmail.com (Dina) or simonpnesther@gmail.com (Nurgul).

DENMARK
Two regional meetings this spring dealt with
our annual theme; “How cultural differences
and understanding of illness impact medical
treatment.”
Both meetings brought up
experiences from doctors working with
immigrants and refugees in Denmark, a
vulnerable and growing patient group.
Another issue is that of making euthanasia
legal, still illegal in Denmark, opinion polls show that an overweight of the Danish
population wants assisted suicide legalized. This is a great ethical challenge and we as
Christian Doctors need to join the public debate on this topic. New part time employee,
Elisabeth Dørken, has as one of her chores to help the Danish CMF actively join the public
debate, to encourage Christian Doctors in their work and more generally to promote our
vision and purpose.
Please pray for:
1. Kristelig Lægeforening and the challenge of euthanasia
2.New employee, Elisabeth Dørken, that her work may be a benefit to Kristelig
Lægeforening, Denmark.
Sincerely, Elisabeth

OCEANIA
NEW ZEALAND
Christian Medical Fellowship of New Zealand
With the appointment of Dr. Fraser Hodgson as
part time National Director, in the middle of 2014,
there seems to be a new momentum within the
organisation. The year 2015 has commenced
with a number of regional meetings attended by
doctors and students in various cities around the
country. We are endeavouring to match students
with doctors in a mentoring programme. The
campus student groups in Otago and Auckland are
active. Over 30 Otago medical students attended
a recent camp. We are looking forward to our
National Conference to be held in August 2015, where Dr Peter Saunders from CMF UK
will be the main speaker.
Praise God
• for the energy and commitment of Dr. Fraser Hodgson and the CMF-NZ leadership
• for the witness of the student campus groups.
Prayer
• for good planning; strong interest and attendance; and rich fellowship and teaching
for our August 2015 Conference.
• for effective infrastructure solutions.

AUSTRALIA
Dr. Ben Reardon Reports,
CMDFA Vision Committee
Vision conference is an annual conference run through the CMDFA (Christian Medical and
Dental Fellowship of Australia) to equip medical and dental students throughout Australia
and to prepare them for campus ministry. This year, we had the exciting privilege of
extending this to two New Zealand and two Papua New Guinean Medical students. This
year it was held on the Gold Coast and was attended by a total of 56 delegates including
students and mentors.
At the end of conference many students shared about how they were encouraged and
uplifted in their walk with Jesus. They were also excited to return to their various campuses
to organise and run their campus ministries. Some students were also embarking
on starting new campus groups. For some, it was their first exposure to God’s work
through Christian doctors and dentists and they were eager to catch the CMDFA Vision of
integrating faith and practice.
Eric Mange, MBBS 5, UPNG SMHS (feedback)
Vision conference was one of the best student conferences ever. The location and the
number of students that attended the conference were just perfect. Also, the timing of the
conference was great. It was just the right time before the start of 2015 academic year.
Personally, I felt honoured and fortunate to be a medical student and being part of CMDFA
is a privilege and opportunity for me to collaborate with the Australian Christian medical
and dental students to influence the medical schools and the later hospitals for Christ. The
10
feeling of connecting with medical students of various ethnicities but with a same purpose
is just wonderful. At the conference, it was more like home to me and the courtesy shown
by the students was amazing. Being an international student, I thought it would have been
difficult for me but the gesture and greetings of all the students and the mentors including
the visitors was very welcoming and that made me feel at ease. The thing that made me
more contented was the excitement and joy that all of you had in having us international
students from Papua New Guinea and New Zealand attending Vision Conference. It was
such a lovely gesture from all of you.
My highlight for the conference was difficult to choose but certainly an “eye opener” for me.
As a fifth year medical student in the University of Papua New Guinea, School of Medicine
and Health Sciences, I have the passion to be a mentor. Not knowing what it was and
the costs involved, I finally learned something about mentorship during the streams and
am more than thankful to the mentors, especially Northern Russel and Caroline Russel. I
acquired the adequate knowledge I needed in order to become a mentor.
I also learned that “in order to be a teacher, you must first be taught, and in order to lead,
you have to follow first;” similarly, “in order to be a mentor, you have to be a mentee;”
only then will you know how to be a good one, and to do it properly. So I guess all of
us individually have our own highlights of Vision in a different way. But this is my short
highlight.
All in all, I very much appreciate the fellowship, love, joy and peace that you guys have
shared during the conference. I am really grateful and delighted to God for the wonderful
opportunity through the sponsors and those who have tirelessly worked to make it possible
for me and my friend Hermin to attend this conference.
May God bless you all in your future endeavours. Our partnership in Christ is indescribable
as we are one body in Christ. I look forward to seeing you all at IMPACT.

SOUTHERN AFRICA
MALAWI
Dr. Gareth Lipunga and Dr. Mulinda Nyirenda, CMDF
Malawi still remains the warm heart of Africa as God reigns even in the midst of unstable
economic and social circumstances for its people. The health sector faces many challenges
that require Christian health professionals to experience God in reality in order to “Serve,
Share and Shine” for Christ in their workplaces. In such circumstances, fellowship among
brothers and sisters in Christ needs to be encouraged for edification, inspiring, teaching
and encouraging each other. All this is done using the gifts God has given us to stimulate
the spirit of unity and enjoy one another’s company as a family.
The CMDF Malawi central region group decided to put this in practice and maximize the
wonderful hot weather with good Christian fellowship on the 15th November 2014. Students
from Malawi College of Health Science and College of Medicine together with qualified
clinicians and their families (CMDF Lilongwe) travelled to Senga Bay on Lake Malawi. On the
beautiful sand beaches in the warm sun, relaxed, playing games, singing songs of worship
and reflecting on God’s word. Dr Nicky shared from Psalm 121 that “our help comes from
the Lord” in the moment of physical, emotional and spiritual fatigue. All were encouraged to
remember this spiritual truth and learn to draw strength in the Lord to serve others in our tough
environment, even though we face our own weaknesses as individuals. The day ended with
a barbeque and time to splash and swim in the lake.
Upcoming Events:
CMDF Malawi National Conference: October 2015
Prayer Points:
• Pray for wisdom and boldness for Christian health professionals in Malawi to take up
the challenge of improving health care standards and bring back professionalism in
their workplaces.
• Pray for students that they will be filled with purpose and passion for their studies as
they prepare to contribute towards Malawi Health
• Initiative and commitment for those called to take forward CMDF Malawi in 2015.
A new national committee will be formed and a junior doctor will be appointed to
coordinate student activities.
