Four speakers with expertise in tropical medicine, parasitology, infectious disease, pediatrics, and obstetrics-gynecology as well as practical experience in the medical mission field will give us advice on how to practice medicine in these areas of the world where modern diagnostic equipment and the latest in treatment modalities are not available. Our keynote speaker will examine the role of the health professional as a missionary for God by integrating his or her faith in Him with their professional skills in treating the whole person, not just a patient with a medical illness. ... Believe it or not, it's free! For a brochure or for more information about the course, call Stephanie Garling at 502-451-5317 ext. 725 or write to: Southeast Christian Church, Missions Committee, 2840 Hikes Lane, Louisville, Kentucky, 40218.
North American and Latin American students study together and work together, designing strategies for service and evangelism, and executing the plans. The length of the Institute term gives the students the opportunity to experience fully the first wave of "culture shock," and to overcome it productively with the help of the Institute staff. The students gain a confidence in their identity with Christ which will serve equally well in the mission field or in the local church.
Students must be 19 years or older, single or married, with a strong recommendation from an elder, or other spiritual leader. Each student will be required to raise support as a missionary, and will be required to demonstrate accountability to his or her supporters.
Deadline for letters of intent is January 10, 1997. Applications and further information are available by contacting Dr. James Green, Director, Iberoamerican Institute e-mail: fcabezas@lascar.puc.cl.

Look at the Brigada section and you'll find dozens of conferences made up of world-changers who want to make a difference. When someone wants information on an unreached people group, where do they turn??? Brigada-peoples. Got prayer request or need??? Brigada-prayer-requests. The new Brigada-travel-bids is receiving "requests for bids" from 4-5 travelers per day. In fact, it instantly became the most popular conference in the Brigada family last week! Got an opportunity or a person for job consideration? Write to brigada-job-shop. And look at all the unreached people conferences! Within a few short days of its opening, brigada-peoples-uygur instantly went to work lifting up prayer and information for the Uygurs.
