People with diverse skills and interests join us for a week, a month, a year or longer. They – and we - will never be the same. Meet some recent volunteers who are sharing the gifts that our God has so generously given them:

Dr. Christel Brabon, OB-Gyn, has recently completed her medical training. Teaming up with Samaritan’s Purse, she has joined us for two years of service. She cares for mothers and newborn babies; they love to see her coming.

Rev. and Mrs. Roger McCarty enjoyed visiting Bangladesh. Roger recently taught at two pastors’ seminars, preached in local churches, and then observed surgeries in his free time. He’s eager to tell his church back in America about God’s work here.

Jon and Heather Long, with their four fun children, join our team for two years. Heather teaches expatriate children. Jon encourages the hospital maintenance team and construction crews.

Lynette Carroll majored in Upholstery, Textiles and Design. Using her newly learned Bangla, she joins Heart House women each day, learns how to make their products, and introduces new designs.
