Daphne McMinn (Carter)
Retired but not ‘tiring’. (Quoted from “Newsline March 1999.)
Daphne McMinn (Carter) attended BI in 1952/53 and as professional nurse worked in the community health field for many years. She found many opportunities for witnessing to the wonderful grace and provision of God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Looking towards pension and retirement her thoughts turned again to the foreign field and the possibility of working in a foreign land. The opportunity came when meeting up with Margaret Houison (also an ex 81 student working with WEC) who told of the needs in the land where she bad labored for many years. The result was that she spent 6 months with her in Allahabad teaching English as a second language.
In January Daphne attended the “Ministry to Muslims” course here at BI. At the end of February she returned to India for another six months. This time to join up with and help a health team in Mussoorie.
