Myron Iseminger, now serving in Lebanon, never imagined becoming a missionary. But a volunteer year in the Middle East transformed his worldview, ignited a passion for cross‑cultural ministry, and led him into decades of overseas service.

The Davis’ Indians - Part 2
After Ovid Elbert Davis died of blackwater fever in 1911 at Mt.

Fourteen years later, missionaries finally returned, finding more than 130 people still faithful to the commitment Davis recorded before his death. Today, his legacy lives on through the Davis Memorial Hospital in Georgetown and the thriving Adventist communities that grew from his early work.
