What this episode covers

Recorded on 20 April 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Rick Allen. Healthcare missions, typically conducted in low resource environments is both demanding and exhausting. The impact on one’s life can cross professional, relational, and spiritual boundaries. Pre-field healthcare missionaries are not typically prepared for the demands they will encounter. In addition, once they are on the field, they are not cared for in a way that is appropriate for the challenges they face. MedSend is endeavoring to transform the care of healthcare missionaries. In this webinar Rick Allen plans to share some of MedSend's model and role out plans. Rick spent 25 years in executive roles within the computer software business. He was called out of business to be a pastor and run MedSend which provides grants and scholarships for healthcare professionals to live out their calling. Rick stepped away from the role as pastor several years ago and is now the full-time CEO of MedSend. He desires to see many come to know the love of Jesus through the delivery of compassionate healthcare.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Summer 2011 | Public lectures and events | Video London School of Economics and Political Science Video files from LSE's summer 2011 programme of public lectures and events, for more recordings and pdf documents see the corresponding audio collection.
