At the Bongolo Hangar 2005. |
Our family responded to the need and here we are over a decade later, not only serving the work in Gabon, but lending a hand in mission aviation bases in 2 other countries and consulting with others.
With all our coming and goings between both families, the times that the Thompson's and the Straw's get to be with one another has become quite rare! So, to run into them in North Carolina recently, was a sweet treat, and better yet when we found out that their daughter, and our dear friend, Rachel was coming along as well.
Dave was kind enough to sign some copies of his latest book. Dave and Becki don't slow down! Between many meetings in the US and conferences where they share their stories and inspire the next generation of career medical missionaries, the still have their full-time medical work in north Africa. They spent three decades in central Africa speaking a village language and French- now they are learning Arabic in their 60's! What an inspiration. |
MAG is currently looking for additional teammates to assist at the office in Burlington, the base in Honduras, Guatemala, and Gabon. Do you or someone you know sense that this is work that you might be interested in? Contact me for more information. gabon.pilot@gmail.com
