CONGRESS THEME
The 18th ICMDA World Congress, themed "Building God's Kingdom Amongst the Broken," will be a time to seek God’s heart and guidance as Christian doctors, dentists, students, and healthcare leaders. Centered on God’s faithfulness and love, this congress will encourage participants to rely on His wisdom and strength to become instruments of His healing and justice in a broken world. Together, we will reflect on how to glorify God by serving as His hands and feet, bringing hope, compassion, and restoration to those in need. Join us in worship, prayer, and fellowship as we seek to build His kingdom through healthcare.
