Geoff & Eleanor

Geoff and Eleanor work with AIM International (Africa Inland Mission), with Calgary as their home base for ministry. Geoff grew up at Foothills. They are both medical doctors, and served in Kenya for many years giving leadership in medical ministry locally and nationally.

Geoff serves as the Health Consultant in the AIM International office, supporting the Mobilizing and Receiving Regions in terms of their healthcare personnel. This involves some travel, supporting AIM field locations in placing health professionals in their regions with a view toward engaging unreached people groups. It also involves helping Mobilizing Regions prepare health professionals to transition successfully to life and work overseas. In Calgary, Geoff does surgical assisting part-time, mostly with orthopedics, at various hospitals.

Eleanor has been involved in promoting palliative care in international settings, teaching and speaking as opportunities arise. Currently she works in Palliative Home Care here in Calgary, supporting the home care nurses as they interact with patients, and visiting patients in their homes as the need arises.

Geoff and Eleanor have three adult children (David, Stephen and Amy), a daughter-in-law (Kim), and two grandsons (Eli and Caleb).
