Unusual Marriage
When Sydney businessman Bill Dennett, married SIM missionary doctor Jo Anne Ader, in Addis Ababa on a balmy December day in 1973, he had no idea what he was lettinghimself in for. Jo Anne¿s life had been vastly different to Bill¿s. After growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in southern Texas, she had trained as a nurse and used that qualification to work her way through medical school. On becoming a Christian, she decided to use her medical skills in missionary work in the Muslim country of Somalia. She was Medical Director of a hospital in a country where respect for women was almost nonexistent. The account of their early years, theof marriage and the aftermath, will stun the reader as well as inspire. Hard won progress is described with disarming frankness. Bill and Jo Anne¿s faith and determination to make their marriage work, and to use their gifts and experience to glorify God, is inspiring.
