Wed lunch mtg (guest speaker Dr. Kattey from Nigeria), Help at Student Activities Fair Monday, Hiking, GMHC Conference
Dear PHCF,
Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. (Ps 91:14-16)
In these three verses, God makes eight promises! He pledges to deliver, protect, answer, be with, rescue and honor, satisfy and show us his salvation. Wow! And what is it that he asks of us? God wants us to hold fast to him in love, know his name, and call to him in trouble - which we are enabled to do because he has first called us. Praying for you today that in the midst of trouble (whether facing exams, grants, projects, hard conversations), you plant your trust in El Roi, the God who sees you. May he open your eyes to his work and increase your faith; and may you walk out as his ambassadors in confidence, knowing his character, his promises, and his truth. (today's devo adapted from fighterverses.com)
Tomorrow, we will meet in Room W2033 in the SPH at 12:15pm -- Dr. Kattey, a JHSPH alum MPH '11, is going to share about his missions work as a resident doctor in Port Harcourt, Nigeria and Missions Secretary of CMDA Nigeria, Rivers State.
We are looking for two more people to help out at the Student Activities Fair on Monday 8/28, 11:30-1 in Feinstone! Lunch provided at 11am. Please email Teresa at jhsph.phcf@gmail.com if interested in telling new Masters and doctoral students about PHCF!

- Lunch meetings on Wednesdays at 12:15pm in Room W2033 (contact PHCF) *Thank you to everyone who answered the poll! We will keep meeting on Wednesdays for now!
