Description
Please join us for an exciting evening! Dr. Stephen and Peggy Foster will share about their experiences as missionaries in Angola, Africa, where they have been serving for the past 40+ years. They remained in Angola during much of the 27-year-long civil war which ended in 2002. Eduardo and Jocelyn De Souza and their children, from Lake Park, are preparing to join the Foster's as long-term medical missionaries. Come see how you can become involved in reaching Angola with God's love! Dr. Stephen Foster, MD, has devoted his life to sharing God's love and improving health care in Angola. Even when armoured plates had to be installed under his car, he continued providing high-quality medical treatment in a country ravaged by war. Providing treatment in war and post-conflict environments has been difficult, Dr. Foster said. "The health infrastructure, already inadequate in 1975, deteriorated rapidly during the civil war, while the education and family systems also struggled. This made it harder to deliver timely, effective treatment, as well as teach proper methods and techniques to residents."
