Summary
The book, Mission
Vets, chronicles the journey of Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM) from
its inception through the first 25 years. It deals with the vision and
subsequent "call" on the lives of many veterinarians to serve
in this ministry. Veterinarians, traditionally, have not been involved
in mission work like their human medical counterparts. After reading
their story you will wonder why not, as they seem to be uniquely
qualified.
God's love is expressed in our world in a
myriad of ways. Mission Vets describes how a new expression of God's
love was born in Sweden in 1975 during a meeting of the Baptist World
Alliance (BWA) representing
84 countries. The story begins with Leroy Dorminy, a veterinarian from
Georgia, when God stirred a new dream in his heart. It continues, as
others catch the vision. The book uses quotes quite liberally from those
who have participated in the ministry.
Much of the work takes place under the
most difficult circumstances. The countries are put through a grid and
those with the worst quality of life are selected for service. In such
an environment, animals play a very important role in the lives of the
people. For families who live on the edge, animals can often spell the
difference between life and death. Healthy animals can also improve the
quality of life for the family. They can enable children to go to school
when they wouldn't have had an opportunity otherwise.
It is an exciting account of how God is
using the profession of veterinary medicine to meet the needs of God's
children in practical and unusual ways. But the reader must be aware
that it also serves as a challenge to her or him. All of us have talents
and skills that can be used to help those in need. Veterinary medicine
affords a special avenue to accommodate this. This book tells how some
veterinarians have used theirs.
