Methods for Finishing the Work (part III)

- Medical Missionary Work

SPEAKER: Dave Fiedler is an Author, Educator, and Founder of Adventist City Missions —a metropolitan evangelistic project that includes a vegan restaurant, a health food store, an outpost-based team of colporteurs and Bible workers, a rural wellness center, and an active inner-city medical missionary work.

PRESENTATIONS:

Kellogg vs. the Ministry– Friday 7:30 p.m. – Biology Amphitheater, Andrews University

Unified Field of Atonement- Saturday 11:20 a.m. – Fil-Am SDA Church (8454 Kephart Lane)\

The Door Was Open, but we didn’t go through- Saturday 3:30 p.m. – Fil-Am SDA Church

Picking up the Pieces- Saturday 4:45 p.m. – Fil-Am SDA Church

What can we do now?- Saturday 6:00 p.m. (Erik Kelly) – Fil-Am Church.

Ellen White said that medical missionary work is the "right arm of the gospel ministry" and the “the gospel illustrated,” or the gospel put into practice. This work is one of the most important for Seventh-day Adventists to do in order to truly carry the work of the gospel “to all nations, tongues and people.” Join us as we learn what Medical Evangelism and Medical Missionary Work are and how each of us can be involved in it today.

Dave Fiedler, a teacher by trade, has developed a newfound passion and active interest in this area and has become personally involved in it through lectures and ministry. He will share four presentations and Erik Kelly, an MDiv graduate student, will give the final lecture: "What can we do now"?
