The 18th International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA) World Congress successfully held from 30th June to 5th July, 2026, at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Jeju Island, South Korea. Under the theme, “Building God’s Kingdom Amongst the Broken” (Isaiah 58:12), the Congress brought together Christian doctors, dentists, students, and healthcare leaders from over 100 nations for a life-changing time of biblical teaching, leadership development, worship, prayer, medical missions, networking, and global fellowship.

The CMDA Nigerian delegates actively participated in various streams and showcased the nation’s Christian heritage through cultural presentations. Participants returned refreshed, equipped, and better connected with the global Christian medical community. The delegates’ participation was a great success, made possible through effective mobilization, prayer, and support. 

As we thank God for the impact of the 2026 World Congress, we are pleased to announce that the next ICMDA World Congress is scheduled to be held in Surabaya, Indonesia, in 2030. We encourage members to begin praying and planning to be part of this global gathering as we continue advancing God’s Kingdom through healthcare together.

IMPACT FUND

Dr. Boma Alali Ngozi Okoh and Dr. Ifeyinwa Amamilo shared inspiring perspectives on the Impact Fund vision- why it is necessary and achievable.

Dr. Boma Alali Ngozi Okoh likened the Impact Fund to planting a mango seed. Rather than spending money to buy mangoes every day, planting a seed produces a tree that continues to bear fruit for years to come. 

Dr. Ifeyinwa Amamilo explained that raising ₦1 billion is possible when many people contribute according to their capacity.

PRAYER BULLETIN

March 22, 2026.

THEME: ENLARGE YOUR TENT – Emphasis: Training for Enlargement. 

Text: 2 Tim. 2.2 – _And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

 

Ps. 18.34 – _He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

 

Ps. 144.1 – Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.

👉🏽God’s method for raising MEN in the kingdom is reflected in the above scriptures. Men are raised by virtue of the things they have heard from God or other men.

👉🏽The chain is maintained by committing the same teachings to faithful MEN who shall be able to teach others also.

👉🏽It takes training received from God to do impossible things like breaking a bar of steel with bare hands. God teaches us the principles and practices of warfare. It takes a mastery of warfare to take over new territories.

👉🏽No army is victorious in battle without prior training. If victory is our goal, then training is inevitable.

 

David was a MAN who acquired skills for victory in battle via training. For the victories ahead we need to be trained. It is our season of training for enlargement!

 

Prayer Points focus: Wholeness Missions

  1. Praise God for His goodness and mercy to CMDA Nigeria and all our partners.

 

  1. Let us give God praise for the successful registration of CMDA Nigeria Wholeness Missions, our new organization for Local and International Missions.

 

  1. Let us pray for divine wisdom and grace for laying a solid foundation for an organization (Wholeness Missions) with global and eternal impact in Jesus name.

 

  1. Let us pray that the Lord will send forth labourers into the harvest field of the world through Wholeness Missions in Jesus name!

 

  1. Let us pray that the Lord will grant Wholeness Missions divine connection to partner organizations and individuals for the end time harvest in Jesus name!

 

  1. Let us pray for supernatural supplies for the operations of Wholeness Missions in Jesus name!

 

  1. Praise God for answers to our prayers in Jesus name!

Glory be to God!
