Dear Friends of IHN,

Thank you for your faithful support and prayers for this ministry. Without you we could not be involved with the exciting opportunities opening up to us.

EXCITING WORK WITH IN HIS IMAGE FAMILY PRACTICE RESIDENTS

In His Image Family practice residents in Indonesia

I just returned from Tulsa, OK after spending a week with the In His Image Family Practice residents. Dr. John Crouch, executive director of the program wrote, "Together we are building integrated Models of Primary Care in medical education and in practice around the world." . God has opened the door for me to be adjunct faculty with this program and has used me to involve them in disaster relief around the world.

IHI residents are doing exciting things. I want to pass along the following remarkable report by Chris Jenkins, MD, on their China Conference. "It has been an exciting three weeks in China. God is at work in this nation. We had many opportunities to share our faith with doctors, health care leaders and medical students this year. In Haikou one of the leaders of the Haikou Medical Association came up to me between lectures and presented us with a scroll with Chinese calligraphy written on it. It said, "Love has no boundaries." He explained that the team that had come the previous year had so impressed him and his friends with their love, respect for the Chinese, their sacrifice in coming so far to meet and help them, that those things made a greater impact on him than all the medical teachings that he heard. Though they may not fully understand the implications, his friends and co-leaders told us at dinner that they needed more of the Bible's teachings. All of them were communist party members for whom it is still illegal to believe in God. Christ shines through when we follow Him even when we cannot preach freely.

     "The Javanese are sort of the most dominant and advanced ethnic groupd in Indonesia...majority of vital positions in the gov't are occupied by the Javanese people.  The area is predominantly Muslim, with the southern part (hardest-hit Bantul) and surrounding rural districts widely known to be the area and people group with deep and strong Moslem convictions (among them are fundamentalist trained in Muslim clergy schools.) Witchcraft and divination are pretty prevalent in this area, and those rituals are mainly dedicated to honor the 'empress/queen of the southern ocean' (i.e. Indian Ocean).  This empress is believed as a notoriously powerful being ruling the Indian Ocean and bestowing the people of Java.  There's lots of buzz and predictions among the locals associating the disaster with the 'empress wrath'.
