On Call (Jaffray Collection of Missionary Portraits, 3)

Description of David Thompson, author of On Call:

"Please don't talk to me about your God!" he gasped. "Just help me not to die." This plea of a dying man was the trigger that set young David Thompson on a medical missionary career. Living overseas was not new to David. He grew up in Southeast Asia where his grandparents spent 42 years and his parents, Ed and Ruth Thompson, met a martyr's death at the hands of the Viet Cong. They had spent 20 years in the highlands of Vietnam. David's wife, Becki, a nurse, also grew up in Vietnam. Her father, Rev. Archie Mitchell, was taken captive by the Viet Cong in 1962. He is still listed as missing in action. David and Becki are currently at the Bongolo Mission Hospital of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Gabon, West Africa. Read this book of high adventure in medical missions.
