Conakry, Guinea is our home for the next 9 months. Guinea is a bit smaller than the state of Oregon with a population of just under 11 million. Islam is the major religion, with approximately 85% of the population adhering to it. The average life expectancy is 58 years. It is ranked 178 out of 187 countries on the United Nations Human Development Index. Guinea is the second largest producer of bauxite in the world. French is the official language but there are 24 other languages spoken in the country.
The need for both the specialized surgeries that we provide and the light of Christ in the nation are quite evident. We are looking forward to new adventures, personal growth, and to be used by the Lord to help accomplish His purposes in this country.
