[belated] Guest Speaker Dr. Gaskin tomorrow 12/3 (12:15pm W3031), Christmas, and more!

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

Paul prays for the Ephesian church (3:14-19): For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith - that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Plus a little commentary on this verse, courtesy of Christianity Today) As we enter the season of Advent (and the end of second term/the year 2019), we pray that you too are strengthened to know and trust and love the Lord more, even as he fills you with his gracious abundance. (Also, here's a nice Advent devotional)

Tomorrow, join us at 12:15pm in Room W3031 for a special guest speaker - Dr. Darrell Gaskin (professor in the HPM dept) will share his faith and testimony with us. Bring your own lunch. Please join us!

  • CDMA Northeast Winter Conference: Jan 17-19 (MLK weekend), Christian healthcare professionals at all levels of training and practice will gather at the Sandy Cove Conference Center in North East, Maryland for a great weekend of fun, fellowship, small groups and two dynamic speakers: William “Griff” Griffin, DDS, and Keshia Brown, PA-C. The overall theme will be “Healing for the Healthcare Professional.” Register here. While this is targeted at people in the medical and dental professions, they welcome people from public health and allied health professions too - PHCFers who have attended in the past have greatly benefited from attending. 
Leadership: if interested in leadership, please email jhsph.phcf@gmail.com - this group relies on Jesus first and foremost for guidance and direction, but also needs you as student leaders as His hands and feet here in our school.

Biostatisticians: For those of you looking into a biostats career... a PHCF alumnus (Sherlly Xie) wanted to share that the American Statistical Association (ASA:statisticians::APHA:MPHers) has a interest group called International Christian Statisticians (ICS). ICS just began offering a mentorship program: sign up to be mentor or mentee; get paired up with a mentee/mentor. The coordinator of this mentorship program is Dr. Jason Wilson at Biola University.
