Changing Lives on Both Sides of the Border: Twenty-Five Years of Mision de Candelilla

By Ottis L. Layne MD

IN 1986 Dr. Ottis Layne and Sara Allerkamp, R.N. are asked to bring medical clinics into the remote vastness of the Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico, equipped with little more than faith and medical savvy. Little do they know this one step into the unknown is launching a twenty-five year effort to bring medical and spiritual support to a remnant of hard-working people who still eek out a living on co-operative ranches in the spectacularly beautiful, arid back country of the states of Coahuila and Chihuahua. Read as they strive for excellence in mission medicine, personal ministry, construction, and service in a wonderful culture in which time is measured out in long, slow intervals and life is accepted simply.
