Ted is a pediatrician who is currently trying to learn everything he can about medicine in a developing world context.  Despite his training being focused in pediatrics,  the patient population at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital does not allow him to only see children.  He has already been expanding his medical skills,  seeing patients with Dr. Meier on the medical ward and already being involved in c-sections.

Ted and Rachel plan to be at Kudjip for one year and will be praying and seeking God’s will for their lives after that.

If you would like to follow Ted and Rachel as they embark on this new assignment, you can follow them on their blog here.

Thank you for keeping the Hendersons in your prayers, as well as the rest of the   national and missionary team in Papua New Guinea.
