• Title: Building God's Kingdom amongst the Broken
• Location: TBA
• God is a God of hope and comfort. Even amid our mistakes and facing life challenges, God never abandons His people. We have access to the throne of grace because of the Lord Jesus. Based on the theme, “Building God’s Kingdom amongst the Broken,’ we will study the book of Nehemiah to explore how God rebuilds God’s people beyond just rebuilding the broken walls in times of threats and discouragement. We will also examine how God commissions His people, a healed community, to bring hope to a fractured world.

• Title: A Christian witness in a non-Christian context
• Location: TBA
• We naturally spend time with those like us—those who speak, dress, eat, and think like we do. Apps now even help find those like us. But what if Christ calls us to do something radically different? Every society encourages bubbles of likeness. But as Christ followers, we’re called to break those bubbles. To be a Christian witness in a non-Christian context means intentionally stepping toward those unlike us—so they might meet the One we’re ALL called to be like.

• Title: Establishing Sustaining a Medical Fellowship
• Location: TBA
• The journey of rebuilding the TCMA Junior Medical Group (JAMES) after COVID-19 highlights the importance of faith and collaboration. Taiwan’s main medical fellowships—TCMA and CCMM—have worked together since 2015 to strengthen Christian medical communities. In 2022, JAMES resumed monthly meetings and embraced technology such as Zoom, AI tools, and Google platforms to broaden reach and make gatherings more accessible. Key lessons include praying through challenges, remaining flexible when plans change, and trusting God in uncertainties. The ultimate goal remains: unite believers, immerse in Scripture, and foster a spirit of humility, ensuring future generations of Christian medical professionals serve through the power of the Holy Spirit.

• Location: TBA

In the breakout session we want to reflect the way Jesus encountered people with other attitudes in sexual questions and their way of life. We want to discuss the area of conflict between our own moral and ethical attitudes, the needs of our patients and the acceptance of the patient in the love of Jesus. This way we want to discover how we can deal with these questions in our medical work and asking helpful challenging questions.

• Title: Why does God Allow Sickness?
• Location: TBA
• As doctors and dentists we encounter the reality of sickness on a daily basis. As Christians we believe God is sovereign and all loving. How do we reconcile these realities? Why does a good and sovereign God allow sickness? We need to have reasonable answers for a number of reasons. First, we need to give credible answers to those who are struggling to follow Christ. In our evangelistic efforts we will encounter this question often. But we also need to know the answers for ourselves, that we can find the strength and faith to continue our journeys as Christians in health care. This breakout talk will take a honest, biblical look at the answers.

What is the role of sin and Satan in mental illness?

• Title: AI and transhumanism Ethics
• Location: TBA
• Rapid advances in biomedical technology raise two fundamental questions: 1. What does it mean to be human? 2. What kind of world do we wish to build for the future? Both AI technology and transhumanism (the philosophy of human enhancement) raise these questions with new urgency. But this gives us new opportunities as Christian believers. Our challenge will be to show how the biblical Christian faith gives relevant and practical answers to the deepest questions of our age.

What are the consequences when we ignore it? What is the meaningful life for us as a medical people? How can we have a’fruitful” life and understand the consequences of it? This topic will answer those questions.

It’s not about being some extraordinary person - it’s about serving extraordinary God who can use your gifts and talents for His glory. We will talk about Biblical foundation for ministry and volunteering, look at practical examples and encourage one another to seek God’s direction in it.
