The George Fox nursing and education team that recently traveled to Kenya invites the university community to a presentation about the trip from 3 to 4 p.m. today (Monday) in Hoover 105.

This will be a time of hearing specific patient stories (some in the form of case studies), showing some of our pictures, and discussing a few of the ways we improvised the nursing/medical care based on the supplies we had available. We hope to show you more specifically how God was working through each situation and to encourage you to join with us in praying for the people we had the privilege to meet.
