We would love to introduce you to Esther who we'll be supporting on her medical elective to Mukinge Mission in Zambia this August - please keep her in your prayers as she prepares for her time overseas.
"My name is Esther and I am a 4th year medical student studying in Dundee. God willing, in August I will be spending 6 weeks in Zambia at Mukinge Mission Hospital for my medical elective. I am going with my friend, Emily and we are doing this through and with the support of Serving in Mission UK.
Over the placement, time will be spent getting involved in the various medical and surgical wards which I am sure will provide abundant learning opportunities as we see how medicine is practised within a rural community in Zambia. Doing this at a mission hospital is something I am very excited about, as our days will start with times of fellowship, and it will be wonderful to see the many ways in which God is at work amongst His people in Mukinge.
I would value prayer as we plan and prepare for our trip, and that it would be a time of real blessing as we hope to grow in our faith and dependence on the Lord as well as gain valuable insight into working in medicine at a mission hospital. I am sure this elective will be instrumental in shaping how I go on to practise medicine in a Christ-centred way in my future career and ultimately pray that we would be able to glorify the Lord through this opportunity!"
