CMDFA Luke's Journal: Missions in My Backyard – Serving as a registered nurse with HealthServe
Meet Medina Lamunu — a Registered Nurse, Midwife, and mother of six, whose heart beats for more than just her own family. In this powerful conversation with Georgina Hoddle, you’ll hear how Medina’s faith in God has ignited a mission far beyond Australian borders — to bring hope and healing to her homeland of South Sudan.
With unwavering conviction, she's building a medical clinic to serve those who need it most, right in her own backyard. It’s a story of compassion, calling, and courage.
Have a listen — it won’t take long, but it just might inspire you for a lifetime.
Here are the Bible verses mentioned in our video that inspired Medina and Georgina — we pray they uplift and encourage you too.
Proverbs 3:5-6 [NIV]
5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6. in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Jeremiah 29:11 [NIV]
11. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

CMDFA VAD Workshop 2024 with Professor Megan Best
Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) became available in NSW at the end of November 2023, the last state in Australia to introduce the measure. According to an NSW Government interim report, in the first 12 months of VAD in NSW, 398 people died using the legislation, with 1141 first requests and 992 first assessments in that time. Advocates say that it is 'a means to end suffering' or the 'right to death with dignity'.
As Christians, how do we approach voluntary assisted dying?
What do we do when a patient requests to access this service?
How do we navigate this complex topic in a loving, sensitive and God-honouring manner?
In this video, Prof. Megan Best provides an overview of the NSW legislation, insights from research on euthanasia requests and the desire for hastened death at life’s end. The professor also includes practical guidance for navigating conversations about VAD.
You can download a PDF of Professor Best's Special Report "Living with VAD" in CMDFA Luke's Journal now (https://lukesjournalcmdfa.com/2024/12/10/living-with-voluntary-assisted-dying-prof-megan-best/)
