Training physicians. Caring for patients. Sharing Christ.

The Lord has called us to serve at Tenwek Hospital in Bomet, Kenya through World Gospel Mission. We live there with our four children—Joseph, Timothy, Micah, and Cora—and are grateful to be part of the Tenwek community.

Our calling is to strengthen Christian medical training and care for patients while equipping African healthcare leaders to serve their communities. Through this work we desire to see Christ-centered healthcare grow across Kenya and East Africa.

Jon is a family medicine physician who serves on the faculty of the Tenwek Family Medicine Residency Program. He trains and mentors physicians while caring for patients in the clinic and pediatric inpatient service, equipping doctors to provide compassionate, Christ-centered care in their communities.

Meg is an obstetrician-gynecologist and serves as the head of the Ob/Gyn department at Tenwek Hospital. She helps lead and strengthen the department while training physicians who will care for mothers and babies throughout the region, addressing critical needs in women’s health.

Together with our children, we live on the Tenwek station and participate in the life of the missionary and Kenyan community there. Our family is also involved in the education of missionary children through the Tenwek missionary kids (MK) homeschool co-op.

Our prayer is that through medical care, training, and discipleship, lives will be transformed by the love of Christ—patients, trainees, and communities around us.

Through the training of physicians and the care of patients at Tenwek Hospital, this ministry reaches far beyond one hospital as doctors go on to serve communities across Kenya and East Africa.
