As many of you know, this fall, CMDA Atlanta celebrates our 10 year anniversary. It has been an incredible journey in seeing all that God has done in and throughout Atlanta and the world, especially in such a short period of time.

Dan and Rick from FaithTalk radio talk with Atlanta area director of CMDA, Bill Reichart, and from PAACS Dr. Ken Rutledge. Listen to the radio interview below.

Being in the "care-giving" vocation is considered a high risk profession. People may think that doctors have a charmed life, but that's simply an illusion. The truth is that many doctors (and other medical providers) deal and suffer from either toxic stress, loneliness, depression, divorce, addiction, financial stress, and compassion fatigue. Who cares for the care-givers? Who comes alongside those who are serving and helping others all the time? The answer is to those questions is not encouraging. The fact of the matter is that too many medical professionals are simply "alone" and "isolated". 

Mission opportunities are life changing. Yet they not only change the lives of those are served, but they also deeply impact and change the "ones" do the serving. The impact a trip can have can be profound and deep and yet it can be difficult and challenging to distill, to process and to digest.
