A Willing Servant: Dr. David Thompson and the Movement That Transformed Healthcare in Africa
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
Dr. David Thompson joins host, Dr. Mike Chupp, for a powerful conversation tracing his journey from war-torn Cambodia to the remote jungles of Gabon, where a simple conviction that Africa needed its own surgeons grew into one of the most transformative medical mission movements of our time. In this episode, Dr. Thompson shares how God’s faithfulness carried him through danger, loss, and the unknown, ultimately leading to a vision that is reshaping surgical training across the continent. His story is a compelling reminder of what courageous obedience can accomplish and an encouragement to all who serve in healthcare and on missions.
