    https://makingthemostofwhatsleft.blogspot.com/ I am a 71 year old surgical missionary, who went "full-time" in 2021. #1) It is so nice to know that others of my vintage are being called to serve. I feel less alone. #2) I was fascinated at all the different ways that God calls us. #3) I am presently looking for a long-term location that needs me and where I feel that I can help. So I have been going from place to place. Listening. Trusting that God knows what He's doing and He will eventually put me where He wants me. #4) This work is something personal between God and us; there isn't anyone who can tell you how to really do it. #5) the uncertainty tests my faith and trust in God and His purposes. #6) I go back to the States twice a year to work locums and have medical appointments. #7). I have been relieving mission surgeons who need time off and assisting in PAACS programs. #8) If you know of a location that could use a General Surgeon with Trauma/Critical Care experience, who has experience in overseas mission hospitals, let me know. I'm writing to you from Lamb Hospital in Bangladesh right now. #9) I have no wife; no children; parents are long since gone. Sounds "perfect"? Whatever God wants, I trust Him to put me there.

    To Peter, I would recommend Kibogora Mission Hospital in Rwanda whole heartedly. To see more go to nationsmedia.com and find their documentary series about Kibogora. If you would like to talk more you can email me at mattspreadbury@gmail.com. Pray and see if God leads you in this. Matthew
