Focusing on child survival programs, training community health workers and promoting missionary health, Chris has published, traveled, outreached and taught throughout the United States and Latin America.

After a move to Chula Vista, CA in 1999, Chris and Lori have continued their concentration on health care development and child survival programs by supporting and training a number of workers throughout Central America, Africa and Asia. Their health care educational tools are now in over 30 countries world-wide.
