CREATIVE EDUCATIONAL ADVENTURE

 


Sell your house.

Quit your job.

Take your family and move to Scotland.

Explore castles and bogs and the beaches on the North Sea.

No, it’s not a Hobbit-like adventure. It’s a creative educational adventure.

Study and earn a PhD in Biblical Hebrew.

That’s what Christopher Allen will be doing for the next four years. Just over a week ago he and his wife Katie, along with nine-year-old Lewis, arrived in Aberdeen. The University there will be home until the dream of a lifetime has been completed.

Why Scotland? Adventure for the entire family, and former visits by Katie.

Why Aberdeen? The opportunity to study at an institution dating back to 1495. The fifth-oldest University in the English-speaking world.

Why Biblical Hebrew? Because of a love for God and His Word. Because of a desire to serve the One who initially introduced Himself to us in that language. Because God has led every step of the way.

“Not all those who wander are lost.” Bilbo Baggins in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

CREATIVE MEDICINE

  Jamaica Honduras Chile Panama Haiti Kenya Greece Amsterdam Cuba   The list sounds like the itinerary of a world traveler/tourist. Actually, it is a list of the places where medical doctor Tamim Khaliqi has ministered in creative medical missions. Dr Khaliqi serves as a physician at the Guthrie Cortland Medical Center in Cortland, New York. The trips he takes abroad have been with Medical Missions Outreach headed up by Brad and Kelleigh Edmonston.   During a recent visit to Honduras to help open a surgery center, Tamim had an oxygen tube explode on the anesthesia machine. “I had to figure out very quickly how to keep breathing for the patient, how to provide oxygen, and how to keep the patient asleep in order to finish the case. Thank goodness for a great team!” Those are the type of situations often faced, and one of the things he loves about missions trips.   On his trips to Greece, Amsterdam, and Cuba with The Southern Baptist Theolo...
