Produktbeschreibung
Starting with a genealogy that traces his family origins in China, Kenneth Siu relates his life work, first as a surgeon and then as a missionary and pastor, punctuated by the hardships of war and later communist unrest, in a friendly, sometimes humorous style that will be recognizable to those who have met him. Along the way he will draw you into his life as he relates how he met his wife, Betty, and raised a family in Jefferson City, Missouri while he healed people's bodies in his surgical practice. When he retired from his practice in 1990, he wasn't finished working. God called him back to a long put-aside call to mission work, and so Kenneth went off to seminary and entered service as a missionary to Macau, China, where he then became the pastor of a Southern Baptist church. Kenneth had been transformed from a healer of the body to a healer of the soul.
Autorenporträt
From a childhood in colonial Hong Kong punctuated by the Japanese occupation, through a career in surgery that carried him to the United States because of Communist unrest, Kenneth Siu devoted himself to excellence at his chosen career. His work as a physician left a legacy as a healer of the body in Jefferson City, Missouri, but upon his retirement, God was not finished using him. An early call to mission work that had been put off was renewed, and Kenneth embarked on his second career by going to seminary and becoming a missionary to Macau, just 38 miles from his hometown. After completing his mission service, Kenneth was then called to pastor a Southern Baptist church in Macau, where he continued his work as a healer, a healer of souls.
