Live Beyond: A Radical Call to Surrender and Serve

The catastrophic earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010 was the motivation that Dr. David Vanderpool needed to completely change his life to follow the call of Jesus. For several years, he and his wife, Laurie, had been asking each other a daily question: What did you do yesterday that required faith?

God's call to Dr. David Vanderpool was so powerful that he organized medical and logistical relief to help the hundreds of thousands of desperate Haitians suffering people with no water, food, or shelter, much less medical care. But it didn't stop there. The Vanderpools sold everything-surgical practice, home, belongings-to bring much-needed medical care to the people of Haiti. They established a nonprofit, Live Beyond, to empower the impoverished. Today, its work continues with basic needs such as nutrition and water, in addition to health care, education, and agriculture assistance. The goal: achieve sustainable communities, beginning with the home base of Thomazeau, Haiti.
