Farewell medical team

We knew it would be hard to say "good-bye" and it was! In just five short days, it's amazing how bonded you can get with a group of people, especially people who know and love the Lord passionately and who are wholeheartedly all about serving him in this way around the world. This blog entry today is dedicated to these seven incredible people. The people who work at Southwestern Medical Clinic in Michigan take a pay deduction to support 11 full-time doctors in 8 different countries; plus they send teams. We were United Methodists, Wesleyans, United Brethren, Free Methodists, independent churches, Catholic and some we missed - all united together, serving Jesus.
Dr. Mark, surgeon from Vermont
Dr. Keith, geriatric & hospice doc from SW Michigan
 Rich, counselor from SW Michigan
Dr. Rick Johanson, pediatrician from SW Michigan
Dr. Ron Baker, SW Michigan family medicine
John, physical therapist from SW Michigan
Christie Case, nurse from SW Michigan - kindred spirit
And Dr. Dan Snyder, resident missionary doctor to 
Dessalines, Haiti, also affiliated with SW Michigan.

  1. Hi Greg & Chris-
    You two amaze me! What a journey God has you on. Can't wait for our overnight together to hear even more stories. Side note: Erin dated Dr. Johanson's son in high school. Small world! Praying daily for physical and emotional strength. Love you! Renee
