Recorded on 28 November 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Howard Lyons chairs a webinar with Dr Alex Bolek ICMDA has eight strategic priorities. Two of these priorities are: ‘Establishing new movements' and ‘Strengthening existing movements.' This is comparable to the small church fellowships established in different regions mentioned in the Book of Acts: “Then the church(es) throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord” (Acts 9:31). In this Scripture we see that the churches were first started, then strengthened and multiplied. In this webinar, we will share some steps on establishing and strengthening new movements and what the outcome are when a fellowship is strengthened. Brother Alex studied medicine at the University of Oradea in Romania and has a Masters in Public and Tropical Health.

Recorded on 17 October 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Alex Bolek Africa has a special place in the Bible. For instance, Patriarchs like Abraham visited Africa and Simon of Cyrene who carried Jesus' cross were African. The first European missionaries arrived in the continent as early as 1490. Africa is emerging as the “Centre of gravity of Christianity”. Research predicts Africa to have the largest majority of Christian population by 2060, with four in ten Christians living in the continent. The Church in Africa is currently facing challenges like growth without depth, threats from other religions, political instability, economic disparity, infectious diseases, contemporary issues etc. However, the church in Africa is responding to the socio-economic and health issues and more importantly, fulfilling the Great Commission.

Bill Reichart talks to Roger Matkin, from San Antonio, about the importance and impact of discipleship from his latest book, “Putting It All Together.” Roger was born and spent his early years in Del Rio, Texas on the US/Mexican border. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Physics from Texas A&M University in 1967, earned his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1970, and his Doctor of Ministry from San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1988 with a focus on nurturing spiritual growth. During his career in campus ministry, Roger served on seven campuses in Weatherford, Fort Worth, and San Antonio. In 1994, Roger was asked to begin a local CMDA ministry in San Antonio and the UT Health Science Center. He embraced the opportunity to impact student lives during these critical years and formed lasting relationships which span four decades. In retirement, the author continues to pursue his life passions: spending time with Melva, his wife of 54 years, and his “kids" and grandkids, fishing, hunting, charcuterie, cooking, carpentry, gardening, and writing. "Putting It All Together" is exactly what the title suggests: a compilation of much that the author has learned on the anvil of experience, taught to students, written about in a variety of formats, and confirmed in the day-to-day rhythms of living the Christian life.
