Is There a Place for Me? Finding Your Role in Global Health Outreach with Dr. Andy Lamb & Dr. Trish Burgess
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Trish Burgess, Director of Global Health Outreach and Dr. Andy Lamb, an internal medicine physician who has led 50 global medical mission trips with CMDA’s Global Health Outreach. In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, Dr. Lamb shares how missions transformed his faith, his practice, and even his family life. From his early career as an Army physician to his decades of service overseas, Dr. Lamb’s story is one of God’s power to change hearts through service. You’ll hear how missions shaped his role as a father, a mentor, and a servant leader, and how ordinary people — medical and non-medical alike — can join God’s work around the world. Whether you’re a healthcare professional or simply someone passionate about faith and service, this testimony will encourage you to live with a heart for Christ and a vision for others.
