When the values of integrity and accountabi l ity are mentioned, our default is to consider fi-nancial matters.
Rightfully so. CVM has a commitment to excellence in financial accountability and integrity. However, some years ago as we were working on the CVM vision, mis-sion, and values, an additional outcome from our discussion was a commitment to have integrity and accountability in our heart to hear God’s voice through His word and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We continue to seek this level of account-ability in the work of CVM. We do not report this type of accountability in a graph, rath-er we pray that you see His kingdom fruit in the testimonies of transformed lives as reported through our communications. We must be passionate in our pursuit of listen-ing for and obeying His voice and the lead-ing of the Holy Spirit. We seek His peace as the confirmation of being on track.
Our theme this year is abounding love based on Philippians 1:9-10 “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all dis-cernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sin-cere and blameless until the day of Christ.”
Do we live with integrity and accountabil-ity in how we love others? We are chal-lenged by His word and His Spirit as we continue to reflect on these verses with-in the CVM team and we pray that He is speaking to you as well. We serve, seeking to be accountable ourselves and encour-aging others to be accountable to what He is asking them in the way of serving in missions, or in workplace ministry. I pray that He will speak to your heart to love others more and more and together we can be people of integrity and account-ability to His kingdom purposes.
PrayPray that our Father will protect our long-term field staff as they serve commu-nities around the world.
Pray for wisdom as vets, vet students and techs seek out their calling for the year ahead.
Pray that the Lord will pro-vide a bountiful harvest so that we can continue serve the veterinary family well.

Learning through Love: The Gumuz Education Project
Celebrating its twelfth anniversary this year, the Gumuz Education Project in Ethiopia has seen many changes. Yet the focus on discipleship and evangelism has never been stronger.
Today, the project is providing litera-cy and health education to more than 500 children and adults, including pre-schoolers, all lives that are waiting to be touched by Christ. The Holy Spirit is working in this land –Christian veteri-narians bearing witness to regular bap-tisms and evangelism to neighboring villages through preaching, personal witness and service.
The Story So Far
There was once a time when Ethiopian agencies had little interest in the Gumuz
people, who were thought to be so im-poverished that educating them seemed like a waste of time. Ethiopia has one of the poorest literacy rates in the world and while there are schools, the poor-est of the poor don’t have access to these learning centers.
In the Gesses region, international mis-sionaries have had a presence for 12 years. During this time a non-formal education program was created for both adults and children. As the children’s program grew and gathered momentum, two elemen-tary schools were built and were recent-ly handed over to be used by the gov-ernment. Each year the government has added a new grade to the school and to-day, Gumuz students in Gesses are able to attend grades one through five.
If students desire a higher education, they have to make a 4-hour trip into town.
The Gumuz language has only been scripted and formally prepared within the last 5 years. While this language uses a Latin script, rather than the Amharic Fidel that is used country-wide, children are struggling to read and learn in their mother tongue. So with funds provided through the Christian Veterinary Mission Endowment Fund, materials were pre-pared to train facilitators in the Gumuz language to teach the children and adults how to read in their native language.
The Gospel Message
Learning is achieved through stories, pic-tures, songs, games, health lessons, and math problems. Any time a facilitator delivers a lesson, students participate in prayer and worship; many times through-out the lesson there is also Bible storying, which is an incredibly powerful way to share the Gospel when written language is a barrier to learning. The Gumuz people love to hear stories making it an effective way for people to learn, build relation-ships, and share the Good News.
Thanks to the support provided by faith-ful CVM supporters and donors, veteri-
narians like Cherie Igielski are going into villages where the love of God is not pro-claimed or known.
“Education has been a wonderful vehicle for the Gospel,” Cherie explains. “It has given men, women, and children the op-portunity to hear about the saving work of Christ without having to enter a church building, which can be quite intimidating for these people.”
Christ’s Love Expressed
The Holy Spirit is working miracles in this land, giving people bold hearts to share the Gospel beyond the borders of their villages. Armed with a renewed confidence in Christ, they are beginning to question stereotypes and set goals that will facilitate a brighter future.
One of the biggest challenges the proj-ect has had over recent years is helping families to understand that girls (and women) can benefit from going to school. That an education is not solely reserved for the males. Women of all ages have been proactively encouraged to enter the school programs but the cultural transi-tion is difficult, with the villages regular-ly discouraging the idea and telling our facilitators that the role of women is to work, not learn.
Yet through much prayer, God is soften-ing hearts. “Six women from our church entered into the elementary school pro-gram this year! This is the first time we’ve ever seen this occur”, Cherie joy-fully shares.
As the Holy Spirit changes hearts, people are feeling empowered to think beyond the borders of their villages.
Christian Veterinarian | Spring 20156 7Abounding Love | cvmusa.org
“It is our hope and prayer that God will continue to work among the Gumuz here, winning hearts to Christ, and changing the ideas that the older generations are desperate to hold onto. As a veterinar-ian serving overseas, I am honored and blessed to be a part of this profession and to be sent by Christian Veterinary Mis-sion in order that I may share my love for Christ with others.”
“In time, it is my hope that I may share more of my veterinary knowledge with the different villages. Instead of us, the missionaries, determining what will be good for the people to learn, we want them to feel empowered and to start thinking about how they want to improve their own lives. It can be difficult to look at cir-cumstances and situations, especially as a trained veterinarian, and stifle the desire to go in and change everything. However,
this is not the example Jesus gave us and it is not something that is sustainable with-in a people group.”
In some of the poorest and most chal-lenging parts of the world, God is using veterinary medicine as a bridge to share the Gospel. And as friends and support-ers of this mission, we encourage you to remember servants like Cherie, and pray that their veterinary knowledge will be used to minister to groups like the Gu-muz through service, prayer and Christ’s abounding love.
We want them to feel em-powered and to start think-ing about how they want to improve their own lives.
Dr. Cherie IgielskiCherie is a 2008 grad-uate from the Uni-versity of Minne-sota with a DVM/MPH. One year into practice, she started
praying about a long-term opportunity and discovered there was a great need in Gess-
es, Ethiopia. Through much thought, prayer, and a one month vision trip to Gesses, Che-rie found God leading her to Ethiopia to work among the Gumuz people. Cherie have been seconded to an organization know as SIM (Serving in Mission) and works alongside a family from Canada to serve the Gumuz.

The Endowment Fund
Christian Veterinary Mission’s Endowment Fund (CVMEF) started with the purpose to provide for meaningful programs that could not be funded by the regular budgeting process.
The long term vision of the people who es-tablished the CVMEF was simple—to posi-tion CVM to take advantage of the oppor-tunities to glorify God through veterinary medicine. With God’s grace, the fund was seen as a way to fulfill that purpose.
Twenty-seven years later, the Lord has blessed the faithful gifts made to the Endow-ment Fund, but much work is still to be done.
If you would like to support programs like the Gumuz Project and see Jesus’ name glorified through the profession of vet-erinary medicine, please request an En-dowment and Planned Giving Pack by con-tacting CVM President, Dr. Kit Flowers at [email protected]. We thank God for you.

Partnership is a central pillar of CVM’s mission, values and vision. Within the various ministries we engage in through CVM, we partner with different people and groups such as missionaries, other mission organizations, veterinarians in the U.S. and Canada, and international af-filiated veterinary groups.
So who are our international affiliates? CVM affiliates are international groups of Christian veterinarians who share the com-mon value of Christ-centeredness and a vet-erinary focus, and have agreed to partner together to share the love of Christ through veterinary medicine. To give some perspec-tive, we currently have affiliate groups in 9 countries, and we are praying that God will show us how we can serve Him together.
When I use the word partnership, I am speaking of biblical partnership. Paul’s
letter to the Philippians gives us great in-sight into what partnership should look like, the benefits of partnership, and how partnership can improve the effectiveness of the church in reaching the unreached.
In Philippians, Paul mentions several characteristics that demonstrate bibli-cal partnership. We read about joy in the work together, encouragement, humility, suffering, sharing of resources, mutual-ity, reciprocity, accountability, and en-

hanced ministry. When we share our lives and mission with believers in other coun-tries, we encourage one another in times of hardship. We also know we have others praying for us and walking with us.
But that’s not all! Partnership allows us to do more together than we can alone. As a practical example, let’s take the devel-opment of a short term mission trip in a new location. By partnering with an affili-ate veterinary group in another country, we are able to learn from their experience. Our partners can let us know the best sea-son to hold a veterinary clinic, the easi-est and safest roads to travel on, who to connect with in the community, and lan-guage and culture tips that can make the difference between being welcomed and being asked not to come back.
Partnership with our affiliates also blesses their work. When our partners bring in a veterinary team to serve, or veterinarians
with specialized skills, it helps build trust and respect in the community for the af-filiate veterinarians. This improves their
relationships with the community being served, and can result in on-going minis-try opportunities for our affiliates. Mutu-ality and reciprocity are essential elements to developing a biblical partnership.
I have been blessed by international brothers and sisters in Christ serving me and modeling the behavior of Christ. The idea of putting others first is counter-cul-tural to what the world tells us. The world
When we yield to the Holy Spirit and approach part-nership with the attitude of Christ, there will be many good results.

tells us to put ourselves first. When our af-filiates gather together and share in min-istry, we are a tangible, visible example of what the church of Christ should look like.
One day, every nation under God will be worshipping together at the throne. Through shared ministry with our affili-ates, we have the opportunity to expe-rience a little of that here on earth, and know that others will also witness our groups working together. As they watch, if we love and forgive as Christ taught us, we will be the pleasing aroma of Christ (2 Cor 2:15). May they know that we are His disciples because of our love for one an-other (John 13:34-35)
Partnership will always have its chal-lenges until we are all made into new creations in Christ! Partnership is all about relationship, and within relation-ships there will always be the poten-tial for conflicts and differing opinions and ideas. However, when we yield to the Holy Spirit and approach partner-
ship with the attitude of Christ, there will be many good results. As we share in ministry together, the Lord will open doors to opportunities to be a blessing to one another and to the communities in which we minister. As our relationships deepen, we will empower one another and build sustainable ministry. As Af-filiates work together side by side, Je-sus will reveal our strengths and weak-nesses, so that we can encourage one another and help one another find the best uses of our abilities to glorify the Lord and strengthen His church.
As we live life and minister through vet-erinary medicine together, we pray that God will use us to visibly transform lives and communities for His glory.
If the Lord is moving your heart, then we would like to help you use your gifts and passions for His glory. You are welcome to email me for any of the above oppor-tunities, or to add one of your own!

Get Involved!Would you like to become involved in af-filiate ministry? Here are a few sugges-tions to get you started:
• If you know an international veterinari-an who desires to share the love of Christ through veterinary medicine, please let CVM know. We sometimes have re-quests from the same country and are
able to connect people.
• Connect with and encourage an affiliate vet-erinarian in the location that you currently travel to for short-term mission trips.
• Host an international veterinarian for a vis-it to your practice.
• Pray for our affiliates.
Give a gift in memory of a client’s or friend’s beloved pet. The grieving owner receives a beautiful sympathy card, acknowl-edging their loss and announcing your gift. Comfort those who are grieving with the knowledge that their loss will allow veterinarians to help others in need.

but I quickly realized that I wasn’t alone on this journey.
I had an overnight layover at the Bang-kok airport where I was to be met by Peter, a long-time CVM missionary. The airport was quite large and I found myself walk-ing with a mass of people down a long stair-case where at the final step I had the choice to go left or right. There were people every-where and somehow I had to find Peter, only I didn’t know what he looked like!
I looked into the crowd and boldly asked a friendly face whether he was named Peter. I was relieved when he answered, “Yes”.
On the way back to the airport the follow-ing morning, Peter told me more about missions with Christian Veterinary Mis-sion and how the profession and faith can intersect. As my plane flew over the mountains surrounding the Kathmandu valley, I pondered Peter’s words. Out-side my window I could see the huts and make out the busyness of village life. At that moment I realized I was going on mission and there was no turning back.
On landing I met with three CVM mis-sionary families–all faithful Christian
veterinarians who had put their profes-sional careers on hold to answer God’s call to serve. Over the next few weeks I witnessed servanthood like I’d never seen before as these people poured themselves out to the community. But despite their example, I was still afraid. I found my-self praying about everything—is the wa-ter safe, will the food make me sick, will the lights come on, why are the roads so dangerous! But it was amidst the struggle that I learned to rely on God and soon ac-cepted that even in a foreign land, He was at work everywhere.
When I returned back to the United States, I felt His presence like never before.
On my first day back in the clinic, a client pointed at a picture of me on an elephant and asked me where I had been. I’d always been so busy, so committed to building my practice that the even my clients now won-dered how I found the time to travel. But it wasn’t just one client asking, it was many. So the telling of the story started.
In the six weeks after getting home from Nepal, I talked to 14 groups, a number of churches, 4-H clubs, Saddle Clubs, and various service organizations. I simply couldn’t stop telling the story of what God was doing through our profession.
I’m pleased to say that the short-term trips have continued and my clients still get curious about where I’m going and eagerly await the stories on my return. In fact if I don’t go, they begin to wonder why! My journeys with Christian Veterinary Mis-sion have started lots of good conversa-

When a friend extended an invitation to Bill Rishel for his attendance at a prayer breakfast he had no idea what a life chang-ing experience it would be. Somewhere amidst the food and the fellowship, God revealed a calling that two decades later would see Bill influencing every part of Christian Veterinary Mission–from face-to-face interactions with long-term field staff to mentoring veterinary students at Real Life Real Impact events.
We spoke with Bill about this remarkable journey and asked him to share how his service with Christian Veterinary Mission has influenced his professional career. His testimony and response was a beautiful glimpse as to how God can provide when we respond to His call and step out in faith.
“Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love
and faithfulness.” (Ps. 115:1) NIV
“Back in the late 90’s, a friend of mine had invited me to attend a prayer break-fast at the Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association (VMA) meeting. It was at this meeting where I heard about Chris-tian Veterinary Mission and how veteri-nary medicine could be used a bridge to share the Gospel.
I was driving home alone when I heard God’s voice. It was as if someone was sit-ting in the car beside me, and the message was clear—I want you to do something about that mission talk you heard. Now we all get wild ideas from time to time but this one didn’t go away. It sat with me and the call became stronger and stronger.
Fast forward a little and I am chasing the sunset across the Pacific on my way to Nepal. I wondered how I got to this point,

tions and more than once a tech has to gently nudge me to hurry up.
Despite the adventures, I understood that God was preparing me to help others. So I volunteered to participate in CVM Short-course, a training event that sought to en-courage and inform veterinarians consid-ering missionary work. God made it clear that other veterinary staff at my clinic needed to attend and while finances pre-sented a problem, God always provided. One tech that attended was so inspired that they’ve since been on 6 short-term Native American mission trips! Another professional that attended has taken two trips to Bolivia, one with his family, and yet another colleague pursued the work place ministry training at CVM Short-course, returning home and writing the mission statement for our clinic.
Christian Veterinary Mission provides so many opportunities for professional vet-erinarians to serve. Our clinic has exten-sively used the Animal Loveline program and that in itself has been a great resource for sharing our faith at the most difficult time for clients. One particular client saw me in the local grocery store years after we had put her pet down. She pulled out
the Loveline letter and tearfully told me how much that meant to her.
A very good friend once asked me why I travel when there is so much to be done in our hometown. I told him that God has given me the opportunity and through every experience He is showing me what it means to love thy neighbor.
I retired last summer, but the calling does not end. All my experiences with Christian Veterinary Mission have given me connec-tions with other professional area vets and we have now started an Omaha Area Chris-tian Veterinary Fellowship (CVF) group that meets monthly. One associate DVM we mentored has even left to start their own Christian based practice. I mentor young people in the grade school and Junior High, using the opportunity to tell my stories. And the opportunities continue to pour in—I have spoken about veterinary missions at colleges, our local library, and at a local vet tech program showing technicians how they can serve in a mission setting.
In short, nothing has influenced my work-place ministry more than my short-term trips with Christian Veterinary Mission. So if you are considering going on a short term trip, or are interested in learning more about how to share Christ’s love at your clinic, please get in touch with the folks at Christian Veterinary Mission. They would love to pray with you and seek God’s calling for your life through veterinary medicine.
The story will continue to be told because it’s God’s story through me. I’m just privi-leged to be a small player in it all.
Nothing has influenced my workplace ministry more than my short-term trips with Christian Veterinary Mission.

CVM’s mission is to challenge, empower and facilitate veterinary professionals to serve others by living out their Christian faith.
Our purpose as an organization is to walk alongside Christians in the veterinary community whose de-sire is to bring glory to God through the use of their professional skills. It is our honor and privilege to pray with, talk with, encourage, equip, mentor and provide resources and opportunities for men and women to follow God’s call in their life, whether serving in their own community or cross-culturally.
Animals are a bridge to relationship. Whether at a clinic in urban America or, the countryside of Mongolia, a veterinary school in Bolivia or the Cherokee Nation, relationships are formed over the care of an animal. Trust is built, hearts are shared, and a seed is planted for the Kingdom of Christ.
