On October 19, Mike Welker and Jeff Lane head out to Gabon, Africa on a two-week short-term mission trip to Bongolo Hospital. This hospital was established over 30 years ago by the Christian and Missionary Alliance to serve the people of Gabon and the Congo. See the link at the top of the page for more information about the Bongolo Hospital. Also click on the itinerary page for more info about our travel plans.
Mike is an orthopedic surgeon and Jeff is an anesthesiologist, both from the Dayton area. We will be teaching the resident doctors and nurses of the hospital and serving in a clinical capacity. We look forward to what God has in store for us.
Please pray for our trip!! Pray for safe travel and good health. Pray that we would serve God and be a part of changed hearts and lives. Pray for our families here at home as we are away.
Depending on internet access, I will update this blog as often as I can.
