Our passion is to see people experiencing everything that Jesus came to bring.  To challenge where our understanding of that is limited by our own personal experience or our cultural lenses.  To encourage and equip in places of need. 

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
-Jesus
(John 10:10)

As a family, we are passionate about Jesus, people, healthcare, wholeness, and bridging cultures.  Being a cross-cultural family, we have a vast appreciation for both the strengths and weaknesses of individual cultures, and the grace and love of God towards all of us, his broken but redeemed children. 

 

Paul grew up in Ghana but studied in the U.S. for undergrad (Middlebury), a master in public health (Yale University), and  medical school (Albert Einstein College of Medicine).  He completed Family Medicine Residency at Ventura County Medical Center, followed by a Global Health Fellowship, including a certification in Tropical Medicine and a certificate from the Ultra Sound Leadership Academy.  He is currently working as a family medicine physician at PCEA Chogoria Hospital in Kenya, and is a member of faculty of the Kabarak Family Medicine Residency Program.  Lynn, who grew up in the U.S., graduated Tufts with a B.S. in Biology and Biotechnology, worked for seven years in diabetes research between Boston Children's Hospital/HHMI and Yale University, and is now teaching the children and investing in various capacities in the hospital community, including the chaplaincy.

​

Paul and Lynn met at the Cambridge Vineyard Christian Fellowship and have been active in many components of ministry throughout their lives.  They are very grateful for the many mentors and ministries that have invested in and helped shape them over the years, and seek to share the things they've gleaned with others.  They are constantly exploring the links between medicine as it is practiced in the West and the spiritual components of life and health they have witnessed in their own lives and journeys, and within their circles of faith and medicine.

 

This website was created not to provide all the answers, but with a desire to help foster conversations about the interplay of faith and the spiritual world and medicine as it is taught within a scientific context.  Both science and faith are deeply important to us, and we hope that this venue provides a safe place to explore, ask questions, and perhaps take a few steps on the journey of our collective understanding of the integration of the spiritual realm and the physical realm.
