DR. BEN ABRAHAM

FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

Dr. Ben is a family physician in Snellville, Georgia. A native of Indonesia, Ben's family is of Chinese/Indonesian descent. His ancestors emigrated from China to Indonesia as merchants. His parents came to faith in God as a result of the witness of Indonesian missionaries. Ben's father, Titus, went on to help establish numerous churches around Jakarta. That godly heritage was passed on to their children.

From an early age, Ben has had a great love for world missions. He has led medical missionary efforts across Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and South America and has assisted in raising funds for medical, educational and other services to families and orphanages in Asia and elsewhere. When not practicing medicine, Ben enjoys planning mission trips and serving in his local church. Ben has four children, Michelle, Travis, Scott, and Jillian, and eight grandchildren.
