We started LEAP with the idea of going on a single mission trip. God had planted a little seed in my heart and I took a little step forward in faith. That was it. God did everything else. That step began in 1991, and 20 years later, totally not as our intention or plan, LEAP is now a global organization that has worked in 17 countries and has touched the lives of over 6,000 patients. We are blessed to continue to grow and serve others with the love of Christ.
I wanted to find a way to use my skills as a surgeon to help people who didn’t have access to reconstructive surgical care. So many kids have to grow up with the embarrassment of a facial deformity because they live in a country with little or no surgeons who can perform this type of surgery. We wanted to provide for the people out there who are counting on us.
