If you have a warm personality, a heart for remote people, and an interest in improving livestock health, this is an excellent opportunity for you to demonstrate Christian love to rural farmers. Your ultimate objective is to see a church formed, and to do this you would study local language, culture, history, and beliefs, use your skills as a vet to build personal friendships, and then teach Biblical truths and communicate the Good News. Your professional skills will open innumerable doors to get to know local farmers one on one or with small groups, because as a veterinarian you would meet them during clinics, visit and discuss problems relevant to their physical and spiritual lives. You can definitely aid in the outreach to this semi-nomadic cattle-herding people living in the lowlands of Southern Ethiopia.
