LIA August News & Events
Greetings,
With summer winding down we can say its been a pretty eventful time for LIA and our country teams. As our LIA African teams complete a very busy season of program activity and hosting teams in the field, the Fall season is one of the busiest for the LIA USA team. So look out for more information about ways you can engage deeper with the ministry.
Here are a few updates and ways to connect with LIA:
By attending pre-conference courses and the conference, GMHC-Africa participants can earn up to 30 CME credits
South Sudan has signed a peace deal but it is still very fragile

Blessings, The LIA Team
Earn: CME Credits at GMHC-Africa 2015
Participants at this year’s GMHC Africa will be able to receive up to 30 Continuing Medical Education Credits (CME).
There will also be a pre-conference training seminar covering Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Whole Person Care (WPC) and Advanced Life Support Obstetrics (ALSO).
South Sudanese President, Salva Kiir, has finally signed a peace agreement to end the conflict with rebel forces. This peace deal puts an end to 20 months of civil war that has seen thousands lose their lives and more than a million displaced.
Though LIA continues to work in South Sudan many of our activities have been scaled back in order to ensure the security of our staff. As a team we pray that this new peace agreement lasts so that we may continue to work to meet the needs of the local community and bring lasting transformation.
