Dan was one of the missionaries who understood that the culture and worldview of the people with whom he worked and served was foundational to building a bridge to a Christian worldview introducing them to Jesus. He attributed this understanding to a total dependence on God. When he didn’t have answers, he prayed and listened. He was a faithful servant of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We discovered each other through MAP International and mutual friends there. Dan asked me to teach a workshop with him on curriculum development for allied health personnel when he joined King College. I was distrustful of taking on this assignment with a person who had MD, MPH behind his name and told him so. That didn’t put him off. Instead, he won me over. Over the years, I found him to be a wonderful friend, true mentor, fellow servant of Christ, and gracious colleague. What joy to learn that Miriam’s parents had married in Arua, Uganda where I had served and that she also could count in Lugbara! They were a team and God used them in so many lives. I felt I could discuss anything with Dan and Miriam. We discussed culture and worldviews, the role of women in missions and ministry, the place of health in the church, the response to HIV/AIDS, the future of healthcare missions. Dan’s attention grew toward the next generation of healthcare missionaries and he was thrilled when we asked him to speak at Urbana 06 and Urbana 09. “You know that I learned how to study the scriptures from my time in InterVarsity”, he told me. “That has stood me in good stead throughout my career.” The students were in awe of him, couldn’t get enough from him. Dan stayed long past the seminar times answering questions, praying with students and encouraging them. I am so grateful to God that he allowed my path to cross with that of Dan and Miriam Fountain. God used them to teach, heal, and enrich my life, and demonstrate what it means to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.
