Born to medical missionaries in China, Harold Paul Adolph felt he was being called to medical service even at an early time in life. After his life was repeatedly snatched from the jaws of death, Dr. Adolph finally recognized God had placed him on assignment. He felt led by God to work as a surgeon in places with few surgeons and 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 the US, Liberia, Niger Republic, and Ethiopia. They have also set up a two-hundred-bed surgical training center in South Central Ethiopia with a dedicated staff of expatriate and Ethiopian specialists. In “Surgeon On Call 24-7,” Dr. Adolph discusses the living circumstances of the patients and key elements of surgery, including the providence and provision God afforded him over the many years of doing what many would have considered an impossible “on call” schedule.
