Called to medical missions while still in high school, Christy began a journey, led by Jesus, that took her to medical school in Mexico, followed by a general surgery residency in New York, and,
in 2021, a General Surgery position in Lafayette, Indiana. She had the opportunity to participate in various medical mission trips over these years to Mexico, Haiti, Togo, and finally to Balfate, Honduras (Fall 2023).
Jake spent 10 years in industry working in design and manufacturing engineering roles before entering the mission field as a global worker. Previously, he served his local church for several years, handling maintenance, AV, and IT support.Jake and Christy met when she moved to Indiana in 2021 and later became engaged after her
trip to Togo. “It was obvious to us that God has a plan for Hospital Loma de Luz, and a wide-open door was
before us. After our marriage, we prayerfully began walking towards it, asking God to always go before us. The door has remained open, and today, we are able to help, serve, and love the
people of Honduras in the name of Jesus.”
