Our family works in Chogoria, Kenya, at the Presbyterian Church of East Africa hospital in town, PCEA Chogoria Hospital.  Matthew is a faculty member for the Kabarak University Family Medicine Residency based in Nakuru, Kenya. He also sees patients and helps to teach and supervise students and interns participating in other medical training programs. Our family previously worked at AIC Litein Hospital in Litein, Kenya from 2018-2023 doing similar work. In 2015-2016, we began our missionary career at Bet Eman (His House of Hope Hospital) in Yei, South Sudan before we had to evacuate due to the ongoing conflict in South Sudan.

Matthew is a family physician. He trained at University of Maryland School of Medicine (’11) and MedStar Franklin Square Family Medicine Residency (’14). He also holds a M.A. in Theology from St. Mary’s Ecumenical Institute in Baltimore. In Chogoria, he sees patients and coordinates educational activities for the Family Medicine residents as well as other health professionals and trainees in the hospital. He likes to write, play music, tweet, and read when he’s not doing doctor stuff or playing with the kids.

Maggie is a mother-baby nurse and full-time mom. She trained at Harford Community College (’11) and University of Maryland School of Nursing (’22). She primarily homeschools our kids, but she’s also done a lot of neonatal resuscitation training and works with Friends of Chogoria to help raise funds for hospital capital projects. She enjoys photography, pinning, cooking, and reading when she’s not discipling the next generation of Lofti.

Naomi, Leo, Henry, & Oscar are awesome bunch of TCKs (Third Culture Kids) who love playing with their friends, reading books, baking, drawing pictures, and singing along.
