Fri 11am ET Bible study, Annual Retreat, Prayer Request, Book recommendation, and more

 Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

“For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.” Colossians 2:9-10 (NLT)

I learned that success is not about having a lot of money, a wonderful career, being famous, or being someone else. Rather, success is learning how to be what God wants us to be and fulfilling God's purpose in our life. Brothers and sisters, I pray that we could always find God's purpose in this life and have God's eyes so we can see what really matters and how to glorify God with our life.

We know that a lot of things are going on, especially regarding the uncertain circumstances we are facing, not to mention international students' visa issues. We are happy to share that we commit to pray for you as our dearest brothers and sisters in Christ! This is an anonymous, simple form of prayer. But you can also add your name if you want to! Form link.

3) InterVarsity's annual Retreat 

InterVarsity's annual Northeast Grad Fall Retreat is going online, and you're invited! The Retreat, titled Longing for Wholeness, will start at 7 pm ET on Friday, October 9th and end Saturday, October 10th at 6 pm ET.  Join with other graduate students across the Northeast to worship God, make new friends, and learn about how faith, our longings, our work, and justice intersect.  We will have two virtual large group together times, an extended opportunity to be away from our screens with God, small groups by schools, and an optional prayer ministry time.  JHSPH's own Anbrasi Edward will be a panelist for one of the Saturday seminars. We will also have an afternoon seminar to hear from Christians in the workplace about how they integrate their faith with their work. For more details and to register, go to https://www.bostongradiv.org/fallretreat2020.html

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

Held annually in Louisville, KY, but VIRTUAL this year, 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, prayer, and much more - really helpful to discern God's calling on your life. Registration is still open! Wendy Zhang (a friend from the UMB School of Nursing) is organizing a group of folks from Baltimore to watch-party together - please contact her if you'd like to join :)

7) Book recommendation
