Erin Raffensperger, from St. Joseph, MO and a student at the University of Minnesota is spending nine weeks working at Good Shepherd Mission. Erin traveled with nine others in January 2007 to Good Shepherd as part of a medical mission team from Wyatt Park Christian Church. Erin felt the call of God to return this summer to South India to work at the mission with the mission founder and director Henry Bhaskar. She will be joined by a medical mission team of 14 others from St. Joseph the first week of July. Here is Erin learning the finer points of eating a mango (sucking the day lights out of the pit).

Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14 (NIV)
