Dr. Adam Black is a general practitioner from Glasgow, Scotland who has been serving with JSK for the last 2.5 years. Having come from the ends of the earth (he grew up on the Orkney Islands) Adam is coming to the end of his 3 year commitment along with his wife Jo and their children Alistair (4) and Freya (born at Lok Hospital 2 years ago!).
Adam was challenged by the needs of people in the slums of Chennai, where he served during a medical elective. After completing his higher medical studies in general practice, Adam and Jo (a speech therapist) were led by the Lord to come to Thane.
Adam works with clinical care and counselling at the outpatient centre and with in-patients when they are admitted. He enjoys treating people who are sick with HIV as well as counselling and sharing the joy of the Lord Jesus with them. Adam has also been instrumental in helping set up the OASIS Priceless Health Centre where he currently serves 2 days a week. During these 2.5 years he has been able to learn basic Hindi and is able to interact with patients and JSK staff.
Adam and Jo are preparing to transition back to the UK in mid June, when Adam will be joining a Christian group practice in England. Please thank God for their service here & pray blessings into their next steps.
