No, not our little Caleb<\/a>. Caleb Schrock-Hurst was the final SALT participant in Vi\u1ec7t\u00a0Nam before MCC Vietnam closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. He actually wrote the book on MCC Vietnam for the program’s 65th Anniversary. I met him when I traveled to Hanoi in January 2020<\/a> to attend an education conference and then we hosted him in Cambodia later that month when he came to interview MCC Vietnam alumni, Max Ediger.<\/p>\n\n\n

We’ve had a few other interactions with Caleb since and have really appreciated his commitment to Anabaptism and the Church. Yesterday I spotted a notice that Caleb and his wife Stephanie will be serving as missionaries in Hualien, Taiwan at the Mennonite Christian Hospital with Mennonite Mission Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I’ve mentioned before<\/a> this hospital came out of the medical work in Taiwan that began with MCC in 1948 and which was then transferred to the Mennonite Board of Missions in 1956. The familial connection is that Grandma June<\/a>, Crystal\u2019s paternal Grandmother, was originally part of the MCC \u201cmountain medical team\u201d project in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
