Mike and his wife are missionaries in Kijabe, Kenya \u2013 through World Harvest Mission. Mike is an orthopaedic surgeon who is helping Kenya develop its first generation of homegrown orthopeadic surgeons, and Ann (whose background is in international development), is helping Kijabe Hospital move into the 21st<\/sup> Century.<\/p>\n

Jonah needs some donations for his life-saving (and life-changing surgery).\u00a0 Mike\u2019s blog post tells the story, and in addition adds some very hopeful color regarding the people of Kenya\u2019s response to the recent horrific terroris attack in Nairobi.\u00a0 He and Ann are my heroes, and better Christians than I will ever be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
