Bethel-educated nurses Anita Thiessen ’09 and Elizabeth LeFeber ’10 have a shared passion and calling. Both felt led to serve in Africa early in their lives. Both pursued nursing as a career at Bethel College. And earlier this year, both volunteered to work on the Africa Mercy, a 78-bed floating surgical hospital, then docked in Madagascar.
Surgical nurse Anita Thiessen ’09 has volunteered for three mission trips with Mercy Ships, a nonprofit organization that provides free, lifesaving surgeries to the world’s poor on a hospital ship.
