Christian Veterinary Mom Doing Mission Outreach

“After years of talking about it and months of intense prayer, I have decided to follow my heart and do some mission work. I have felt called to once again work with children, but now, as a veterinarian, I have the opportunity to help animals as well. I have joined the Christian Veterinary Mission and will be starting short-term missions this summer. I am leaving my future in God’s hands and will remain willing to serve where I am most needed. I hope to get back to Kenya, where I worked with AIDS orphans 20 years ago! I am already on board for a mission trip to Uganda in June where I will do veterinary work while helping underserved families and communities. At the same time, I will share my Christian testimony. In July, Jack and I head to Alaska to work in a remote tribal community that has never been served. We hope to share Gods word while we do much needed spays, neuters, and vaccines.

So, my plans are a bit fluid at this point, but I will continue to pray and go to serve where I can for as long as I can.

Lots of prayer and soul-searching led to this decision, and I know what’s in store won’t be the easy route.

I’ve been putting off serving for too long. There is never a “right” time, and there is never “enough” money. I’ll do it “someday.” Well, the “someday” is now. I have been Chosen.
