Leadership Series: Michael Aitcheson

Michael Aitcheson is the planter and senior pastor of Christ United Fellowship in Orlando, Florida. He is a council member of the Gospel Coalition; hosts a podcast called “As In Heaven”; and has served for 10 years on the Board of Grace Medical Home, a CCHF flagship clinic in Orlando. We were blessed to have Mike share as the opening plenary speaker for the 2024 CCHF conference. I love Mike, and you will too! Here is my conversation with Mike the night before the 2024 CCHF conference. 

If you would like to know what a great board looks like, take a look at Grace Medical Home in Orlando. And if you want an example of what a Board member should be like, Mike Aitcheson is a great model. Board members should be a living brochure of what your organization aspires to be. Don’t ever settle for less!

I encourage you to watch the recording of Mike’s talk at the 2024 CCHF conference here: https://youtu.be/x83fmpHqO7o?si=kyav8...

Also, you can watch the video recording of this interview on our CCHF YouTube channel. 

My prayer for you is that you will find partnerships and support as you walk out your desire to serve Christ by loving our vulnerable neighbors through care for their bodies and souls. I hope to see you at the next CCHF conference. Until then, thanks for listening, and let us know how we can partner with you.

Learning Series: Dr. Andrew Kim

"Are You Happy" was a workshop presented at the 2024 CCHF Conference by Dr. Andrew Kim of Ethne Health.

Does God want you to be happy?
How important is happiness as we pursue God's mission? 

We are often faced with the false choice between happiness and suffering, let's figure out a better way! We will discuss the history of happiness, the church and its relevance to today.

The Leagacy Series: Dr. Daisey Dowell

Written by Steve Noblett

Dr. Daisey Dowell of Lawndale Christian Health Center is one of my favorite people on the planet. Some years ago, I had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Dowell. I was really impressed by the way that she genuinely loved her patients and how she spent time training mothers to care for their babies, but also how she handled some of the most difficult situations with professionalism and grace. The thing that impressed me the most was how Jesus was just a part of almost every conversation she had, not in any way that felt forced or inappropriate. He just comes out of every pore in her being.

Later, I learned about Dr. Dowell’s story, which is one of unimaginable challenge, character and tenacity that springs from a deep faith in God's covering of protection. She became part of the CCHF board. She served as the board chair, so we got to work closely together. She's played a huge role in helping me personally and CCHF as a community address issues of diversity while keeping Christ at the center and his kingdom as our goal. I think you'll be inspired and encouraged by her story and her wisdom.

I once asked Dr. Dowell, if the reason that she became a pediatrician was just because she loved children? And she told me that she was a pediatrician more for the mothers than for the children. Because she understood that while she may care for a child and make a difference in that kid's life, if she could disciple a mother and care for her, she might be able to actually break a generational cycle in a family that continues to produce poverty, neglect and abuse. Dr. Dowell's life has been shaped by her relationship with Jesus and by God's word which she has tested and puts into practice every day. We need more providers like her- disciples who are willing to be God's living testimonies in communities where there is so much inequity and suffering.
