Go to a World that is Dying

by John E Bullock

After pursuing an unconventional path to becoming an orthopedic surgeon, John Bullock finally achieved his goal. Hortense, his wife, also fulfilled her dream and became a professional artist. However, God had a different plan for their lives.

This is the remarkable story of how God orchestrated a radical change in their plans through a series of divine events and called John and Hortense Bullock to serve Him at Memorial Christian Hospital in the war-damaged, newly-established country of Bangladesh. They left behind a lucrative practice in modern medicine and a comfortable American lifestyle to work in a primitive setting as part of a team whose mission was to bring the light of the gospel to the people of Bangladesh through compassionate medical care. With God’s guidance and protection, John and Tense faithfully served together in Bangladesh for over 20 years.

My wife and I read Go to a World that Is Dying together. Since we had served alongside the Bullocks in Bangladesh, we repeatedly found ourselves discussing their experiences and comparing them to some of our own. We even began to record our memories for me to later transcribe and to make available to our children. John and Tense Bullock were two of God's choice servants. Their skills and their faith worked hand in hand to glorify their Savior, Jesus Christ. Both are now in heaven where we have no doubt they heard, "Well done, good and faithful servants." John tells their story while Tense illustrates the pages with her drawings — drawings we thoroughly enjoyed in our mission field calendars and publications for years. Despite their great talents (John in orthopedics and Tense in art) they were humble, compassionate, loving, and devoted to their faith. What a privilege we enjoyed in even knowing them and to be able to count them as dear friends. We highly recommend this missionary biography.
