The six-hour journey from a remote Ethiopian village was not easy for a woman pregnant with twins and going into labor. Making matters more difficult was her mode of transportation—being carried by several men.
The woman arrived at the medical clinic frightened and bleeding, but she was assisted by a group of students from Baylor University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing who were ready to help.

Howard Payne students learn
about Islam firsthand in North AfricaBy Kalie Lowrie
Howard Payne University
Before Grace Davis traveled to North Africa, she expected to be immersed in the Muslim culture and to be tested and challenged in ways she had never experienced. The journey did not disappoint.
Davis, a junior at Howard Payne University, traveled to North Africa with seven classmates as part of a cross-cultural studies program. The group, led by Mary Carpenter, assistant professor of Christian studies, worked primarily with Muslim university students—helping them with their English and building relationships.
