Elizabeth Fleming This year Liz’s job will lead her to several locations around northern Argentina and hopefully Uruguay. Her job as Community Health Evangelism (CHE) facilitator involves mentoring people who are beginning and continuing CHE programs. In these areas poverty has manifested itself through hopelessness, family violence, alcoholism, and many are active in cult worship. However, the other common denominator in the areas in which she will work is that the Holy Spirit is moving and people are seeking possibilities for lasting change.

Dr. Charles Linderman, M.D. Dr. Linderman was an accomplished surgeon working at Fairview Hospital when he felt the call to the mission field. He was sent to Albania (June 22, 2000) under the auspices of the Greek Orthodox Church. He immediately began a surgical mission, which eventually became the Same Day Surgical Center, which treats people in need regardless of their ability to pay. While involved in this it became clear that there were many parentless children wandering the streets without hope of a future. In 2004 Dr. Linderman opened the Children’s Home of Hope to help these children. Though his existing resources were strained by the clinic, he could not in good conscience allow these children to grow up without love, understanding, hope. Dr. Linderman eventually lost the backing of the OCMC (Orthodox Christian Mission Center) and has been forced to continue on his own with only the support that churches like John Knox can provide.
