Our New International Regional Director
We are overjoyed to introduce Anna Shaw as our new International Regional Director! Anna has extensive experience around the globe: Originally from Canada, she met her husband Jonny, from Northern Ireland, while serving in a mission hospital in rural India! They married and moved to the States for residency and fellowship training. After training they moved their young family to Kenya to serve as medical missionaries for two years.
With a home base in Tennessee, Anna’s experience, coupled with a passion for global outreach, will play a key role in expanding our initiatives and fostering collaboration across the nations. She looks forward to encouraging women to grow in Christlikeness in the midst of the joys and challenges of medical life.
Please join us in welcoming Anna to the team as we look forward to a bright future together!
