Career Missionaries
with WGM
Our family spent the month of March traveling, visiting
churches, supporters, family and friends, and we were so blessed everywhere we
went. Out first stop was at World Gospel
Mission headquarters, in Marion, IN, where we were commissioned as career missionaries! We are
thankful for the ministry God has given us at Tenwek, and look forward to our
return. Aside from the orthopedic
service at Tenwek, we plan to continue our focus on resident discipleship,
orphan ministry and church leadership.
Thank you to all who have joined “Team Galat” in prayer, support and love
over the years! For information on how you can partner with our family,
and in the work at Tenwek, you can click here.
New Orthopedic Residency
in the Works
One of the most exciting new developments in orthopedics at Tenwek
is plans for a new orthopedic residency!
We will be partnering with the Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS), a U.S. based organization which supports surgery
training programs in Africa, to provide education and discipleship for African Christian orthopedic surgery
residents based at Tenwek. Our
tentative plan is to interview prospective residents in October, and begin
formal training in January 2014 (a full one year earlier than I had been hoping
and praying)! For information on joining us by helping to sponsor future orthopedic residents, please email me directly.

Mama and baby
Heather is now officially in the third trimester at 28 weeks
and feeling well. The “short list” of
names for our baby girl continues to grow with the help of eager cousins here
in Phoenix, including but not limited to Charlotte, Ruby, Hattie, Darcy, Willow,
Harriett, Daisy, Cora, Collette and Lulu.
Do you have any suggestions? 
Jeremiah – Joined
us in late March, and we love having him around. He is my workout partner in the early AM, and
is determined to keep me fit…yesterday we worked the punching bag. When not doing on-line school, he is busy
earning cash by doing projects for grandpa.
Jeremiah and his g-pa.
Emma – Continues to
sing, and is now starting private voice lessons. Additionally, she was invited to practice
with a choir at All Saints Episcopal Church here in the valley. Mostly, she misses our dog Chuma who we left
behind in Kenya.
Levi - Loves his
cousin Marko, and together they scheme how they can obtain more Legos. Marko came to me today with a 1000 Kenyan
Shilling bill, wanting to sell it for some quick cash for a new Lego set. He said he “found” it in his toy box…hmmm…
