Its Called 24

The inspiring and thrilling stories of surgical challenges around the world, which include the life situation of the patients, key elements of the surgery, and the providence and provision of God over many years to overcome what would be considered an impossible "on call" schedule. Born to missionary medical parents in China, Harold Paul Adolph felt called to medical service early in life. When his life was repeatedly snatched from death's jaws, he knew that he was on assignment from God. He felt led by God to work as a surgeon in places with few surgeons and later to train surgeons to carry on this ministry for the sake of the gospel. Since 1966, Dr. Adolph and his wife, Bonnie Jo, have served in Ethiopia, Wheaton, in short-terms around the world, Liberia, Niger Republic, the USA, and Ethiopia, setting up a two-hundred-bed surgical training center in South Central Ethiopia with a dedicated staff of expatriate and Ethiopian specialists. Both their children, David and Carolyn Joy, serve as missionaries in Africa.
