Building Hope, Healing Lives: Our Journey in Ethiopia
Follow along with us as we embark on this journey that God has called us on to serve the people of Ethiopia at Soddo Christian Hospital.
The Cobos Family
We believe that God has called us to serve the people of Ethiopia. Rachel is a board-certified general and critical care surgeon, and Luis is a registered professional engineer. Together with our four children: Daniel, Emma, Isabelle, and Joshua, we will partner with Soddo Christian Hospital to disciple local African doctors and local believers to become faith leaders to heal and build up their communities.
