Albert Einstein’s Christian Fellowship would like to invite you to:
Who: Intermed!
What: Trip to the world renowned Bronx Zoo
When: Saturday Oct. 25th from 1 pm - 4 pm (or whenever you want to be there) The zoo is open from 10am - 5:30 pm and admission is $15.
Why: bc people don’t realize that the bronx offers more than J-Lo and Dunkin’ Donuts

If everyone could please try to get there around 1 pm, then we can randomly split up the different schools into different groups so that peoples can get to know one another instead of clumping together in your school fellowships. Plan on eating lunch beforehand and perhaps we can arrange dinner options at local restaurants for those who are interested.

the website, in case you want to check out what’s going on is:

Access to the zoo is via the Bx12 which you can get to by taking the 1 train to 207th street.

Please forward this email to your respective fellowships and pass the word on to anyone who is interested! Contact me at bnishina(at)aecom.yu.edu to RSVP or if you want more details.

Approximately 60 students and 3 attendings from Columbia, Cornell, Mount Sinai, New York COM, New York Medical College (NYMC), New York University (NYU), Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ), Sophie Davis, SUNY-Downstate, and Touro COM, attended this gathering held in Riverbank State Park. We were blessed by a brisk but sunny October day. Worship was led by a couple students and then David Chen from RWJ helped break the ice by having everyone introduce themselves and then have us spray each other with silly string! After grace was said by Dr. Ako Tabetah, a picnic lunch was served. Group photos of those attending were taken and those present broke off to fellowship with each other. Dr. Ali Ko offered spiritual support to the students as well as opportunities to meet with Christian Attendings.

Elijah Kim helped set up this talk with Dr. Harold Paul Adolph. Dr. Adolph spoke at Surgery Grand Rounds at Beth Israel on October 2, 2008 at 8 am and then with InterMed at 7 pm at NYU School of Medicine. He spoke about how God has answered his prayers during his career as a missionary doctor and surgeon, spending time in areas as diverse as Taiwan, Bangladesh, Niger, and Ethiopia. Students from Albert Einstein, Columbia, Mt. Sinai, and NYU attended this event to hear the words of this career missionary. He encouraged all those who are led to missions work and advised those interested to seek a residency with a broad experience. Please look at the website of the hospital in Ethiopia that he help build - www.soddo.org and how surgeons in this country may spend their time training local physicians overseas - www.paacs.net

NYU Dental School fellowship had their first meeting this Friday, September 12th at Room 614 @ 5:30pm.  Anna Lee from InterVarsity helped lead the meeting.

Christy Chu had this to say about the meeting:

The fellowship went well last night. I felt the Holy Spirit was with us and was moving and using the worship and Anna’s message on Hagar to move and change our hearts to become more aligned with His. The message was on how we are not slaves to our school, work, or environment, in other words our worth is not measured by what we produce and how people around us see us, but by our position in Christ. We are free in Him! But, even though our work is not what defines us or gives us value, God sees our work and responds.

Benjamin Lok set up the recent NYU Medical Fellowship meeting. His review of the event below:

Our first fellowship meeting went very well! Praise God!
We had over 7 new participants (6 of them 1st years!) InterVarsity Staff Worker, Anna Lee, delivered a great teaching to us about not idolizing and not basing our worth on what we ‘produce’ whether it be grades, research projects, etc. Rather we should remember to focus on God, His calling for us and His infinite worth. Last, but not least, we enjoyed tasty sushi to welcome the new academic year! Things are looking to be exciting for NYU this year with our vision to reach out to our NYU medical community as well as our greater NYC community.
