Friday noon Zoom Bible study, and more!

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (Gal 6:9) Praying with CCHF today that you will share God’s heart and presence, and grow in your knowledge of Him. We pray that in your mind you will not reduce your work to patient encounters and data targets, but that you will see Christ and serve Him when He is naked, hungry, homeless and sick. We ask the Holy Spirit to help you avoid bearing more weight than God intends. And we pray that at the end of the day, you will reflect, knowing that He was with you, and that He values and loves you, and that your strength will be renewed.

6) Housing opportunity from (Hopkins Homewood) Graduate Christian Fellowship student Jill Bjerke

Hello! My name is Jill Bjerke and I'm a grad student looking for someone to share my current apartment in Oakenshawe for a 12-month lease beginning in August. It's a lovely, sunny apartment on the second floor of a row house. Minus the available room (which is the largest in the house!), the apartment is furnished. The area is quiet and residential. Rent $750 plus utilities (at most $75/month). 10 minute-walk to Homewood.

I enjoy figure skating, cross-stitching, and European soccer. I'm also a huge Doctor Who/Disney/period drama fan. I'm finishing up my dissertation (but will be here the whole year and hopefully longer) and will be teaching at McDaniel.

I also come with Netflix, Prime, HBO, Hulu, and PBS! I'm looking for someone who is very safe/clean in terms of coronavirus protection. Email me (bjerke.jillian@gmail.com) for pics! 

7) Global Missions Health Conference - Nov 12-14, 2020

Held annually in Louisville, KY, the Global Missions Health Conference is like Intervarsity's Urbana conference - but focused on people in healthcare or public health who have a heart for missions (both globally and locally). GMHC is a weekend of encouragement, networking, learning, and much more. Registration ($120 for students) is currently ongoing! Wendy Zhang (a friend from the UMB School of Nursing) is organizing a group of folks from Baltimore :)
