Hannah Pincott, to Zambia
“I'm going to Mukinge Hospital in Zambia to serve as a medical
student for 6 weeks as part of the last year of my degree.
I have been on some short term missions trips to Asia
recently ... I'm quite keen to do some long term missions
work in future and I see this trip as a great starting point.
Currently I attend The Street City Church, Wellington.”
Natalie Berryman, to Malawi
Kevin & Elizabeth Manson,
Benjamin, Thomas &
Samuel, to Zambia
We’re excited to be heading
back to Mukinge Hospital,
Zambia, where Kevin will work
in maintenance and projects
while Elizabeth homeschools
the children, re-establishes relationships with graduate nurses and staff, and helps
out where needed. From 2002 Elizabeth worked as a tutor at the Nurses Training
School there. After marrying in 2004, they both worked at Mukinge till 2007 when
they returned to NZ for the birth of Sam. Mansons are supported by South West
Baptist Church, Christchurch (formally known as Spreydon Baptist).
“I’m a registered nurse heading to Lilongwe, Malawi to
volunteer for an inpatient hospital project run by Partners
in Hope who care for those suffering from HIV and AIDS and
other ailments. I am looking forward to the experience of
being immersed in the culture of Africa and nursing in a
developing country. I attend Life Church in Auckland.”
Jessica Cullen, to Nepal
“As a final year medical student my 3-month placement will
be spent in Tansen and Okhaldhunga mission hospitals in
Nepal. I am looking forward to this elective as it will be my
first experience of medical mission, the reason I went to
medical school in the first place. My supporting church is
Hokowhitu Baptist, Palmerson North.”
