Wed lunch Bible Study W2033, upcoming conferences, and more!
Dear PHCF,
Sorry for the late email this week! A Scripture to rest on, from Isaiah 43:1-3 - But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Dear ones, will you trust in the grace and the power of our Lord afresh this week, the mighty one who came to seek and to save the lost? Will you surrender your own ambitions and ask the Holy Spirit to shape your dreams and hopes to look like Jesus?
PHCF events this week: Wed Feb 27, 12:15pm, Room W2033 - Travis will be leading us again in a study of the Book of John (The Hope of Christ: John 15 and possibly 16).
PHCF whatsapp group: we've created a whatsapp group for easier communication/support/sharing/
If you have prayers, reflections, songs, or announcements you'd like to share with the rest of PHCF (or individual questions/comments for the PHCF leaders), please email jhsph.phcf@gmail.com!
Grace and peace,
Teresa - for PHCF

3. Job opportunityWheaton College seeking an assistant professor in epidemiology - Note: while the position reads to be focused on epidemiology, we are searching broadly in public health.
4. Ethnos Baltimore Conference - March 23, 2019Join the fourth annual Ethnos conference - Sat March 23, 9am-4pm, at Central Presbyterian Church (7308 York Rd, Towson, MD). This year's theme is Justice as Mission: At its heart, the Ethnos Conference has always been about the mission of God. As God’s people follow Jesus into the world, how does the pursuit, proclamation, and expression of justice equip and empower the Church to represent God to a broken world? Eugene Cho, Nikki Lerner, and many other dynamic speakers will guide us through the hopeful pursuit of God’s justice in the ministry of reconciliation. Read more details and register here. ($20 registration fee if you sign up by Feb 28!)
5. Christian Global Health Conference Conference 2019 - June 6-8, 2019The Christian Connections for International Health conference will be held June 6-8, 2019 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. It's a unique opportunity for students to meet and network with global health professionals from across the globe. Our theme is Called to Care: A Strong Community for Lasting Health. Promo video here. At our core, faith communities are called to care for themselves and those in need. Paul’s letter in Philippians 2:3-4 urges us to “do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
We will explore questions such as:

We will explore questions such as:

- How do we build capacity of local caring communities and organizations?
- How can faith-based organizations incorporate design that considers the human perspective in all steps of development and problem solving?
- Are faith-based programs themselves resilient and innovative?
- Are we working with other faith-based organizations, churches, government agencies, NGOs, and others to ensure our communities are self-sufficient?
