Dr. D & R

Who We Are

Dr. D. was introduced to Christian Veterinary Mission as a veterinary student at Iowa State and she was amazed that God could use her vet skills to serve Christ in long-term, cross-cultural service! D. served with CVM in Ethiopia for 7 years and in the USA for 6 years. Her husband, R., was impacted during his undergrad at NC State seeing how God could use any gifting for God in missions. He pursued serving as an agricultural missionary and later served 2 years as a missionary in West Africa. D. and R. have answered God’s call to serve as a family overseas.

Our Work

D. and R. have a passion to use their skills in vet medicine and agriculture to better equip herders and farmers to care for their families and to open the doors to share the gospel. Their primary ministry focus will be on unreached people groups. These groups are a pastoralist, Muslim people who desperately need to see God’s love demonstrated to them in practical ways. The group have a special reliance and love for their cattle and the current missionaries have asked for years for a vet to serve them. The population is also dependent on crops for a living.

Our Partner

D. and R. are partnering with SIM, a mission organization that has the vision to reach the lost for Christ.
