SUMMER 2014: MISSIONS, MEDICINE, AND MOZAMBIQUE
Dear friends,
The time has come!
In 3 weeks I will be joining 300 people from around the world at Harvest Missions School, a 67-day program of Rolland and Heidi Baker’s IRIS Global, on their main base in Pemba, Mozambique. The day I return to the States, I will be starting orientation as a first-year at New Jersey Medical School, in Newark, NJ. There is much ahead.
It is my sheer joy and undeserved delight that I will be joining IRIS this summer as they engage in missions and development work in the context of global poverty. Given the many radical ways this community of “laid-down lovers” has been known to follow Jesus and extend compassion to the poor, I expect that this experience will define the choices I will make as a Christian and as a physician for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey already by sharing your life with me. All the times we have spent together have encouraged me to continue pursuing Christ, as well as the path of medicine. It is but the Lord’s right hand that upholds me—often through you.
