Recorded on 16 October 2025 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr David Randall chairs a webinar with Dr Chris Jenkins
Glorifying God, Offering Hope, Finding Freedom.
God has done wonderful things for each person who is a Christian starting with saving us and making us whole. But we don’t often tell other people our stories and as a result something is lost.
We don’t give God the glory he is due, others in situations similar to ours aren’t given the encouragement and hope they long for, and we are guilty of hiding our light under a basket.
We all want to give praise to God. Being a faithful witness to what we have seen and experienced is a major part of doing that. This talk will help us rediscover the importance of sharing our stories, know what to include and what not to include and how and when to testify. May we bring honour to God, experience his grace, see renewal in the church, and give hope to a lost and hurting world!
Chris has been a Christian for five decades. Before going into family medicine, he worked with a missionary organization starting adult literacy ministries in Africa and Asia in order to help Christians read the Bible for themselves and to also give them a tool to reach their non-Christian illiterate neighbors by teaching them to read while sharing the gospel with them.
He now works in medical education in the US as well as parts of the 10-40 window including the Middle East, Central, South and East Asia and elsewhere. He has been learning spiritual resilience throughout his Christian journey and finds that in every stage of life he must lean harder on the Lord, dig deeper into his Word, and pray for the spiritual resources needed to make it through trials with faith, integrity, love, and obedience intact.
