"The reason I'm going is because I promised the Lord I would make myself available for whatever kind cf work he directed me to. It became very clear to me that this was the kind of work he wanted me and my family to do," Dr. Garret H. Conner, said.

Dr. Conner, an orthopedic surgeon, will work at the Sha-hced Suhrawardy Hospital in Dacca. Bangladesh for a least the next two years. There are six or cisht Christ-Ian Doctors, nurses and therapists at the Bangladesh government hospital. They train the natives in medical practices and teach them to run their own institutions, Dr.

They want to go where I go," Dr. Conner said. "I think it will be a very interesting experience both worthwhile and challenging," Mrs. Conner said. The Conner family is not unfamiliar with living and working conditions in a developing country.
