Tell us about your ministry assignment

I wear many hats these days. Professionally my work is appreciated and gives me access to hurting people, long term staff relationships, value in the community, and even discipleship type relationships with students and co-workers. I also have margin to be home and available for hosting with my family. This is a pillar of our ministry and we have many people in our home each week. I am also a team leader for 3 couples and 5 singles (as well as children), some of whom are also medical professionals. Our team is diverse in terms of ethnicity, age, and agency. I have the opportunity to engage with locals in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting but also the role of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry in my role as a leader.

How many patients do you see in a week?

approx. 100

Regarding MedSend...

Without MedSend we would have been delayed by at least several years. And those years would have given the Evil One an opportunity to trap us for longer. We can testify that humanly speaking, we do not know whether we would have made it to the field had it not been for MedSend.
