Hearing a fellow Professor speak on his Medical Mission

One of the professors here are York College recently traveled to Haiti to help the Haitian people with their medical issues after their earthquake tradegy. I can not imagine what he has experienced during his time there; however, I will be listening intently when he speaks tonight at our church about his recent work in Haiti along with showing pictures from his time there 2 weeks ago.

Besides the fact that God's work through Dr. Pearson is commendable and he in fact helped to save lives, I can not ignore that I am constantly enthralled by medical missions. I have long had the dream of being a medical mission photographer. This dream has sat on the shelf for many years and will continue to be put on the back burner. It is a dream for a different life, this life is devoted to my precious children. However, if ever a chance arose that this dream could in fact become my future, I can't deny that I would consider the option. A Photojournalist....maybe someday.
For now, I will continue to do what I can to support those who, led by God's mighty hand, choose to serve hurting people in foreign lands. It is a job that few have the talent and strength to do.
