Tom and Melissa Kendall and their six children are missionaries in Togo, West Africa.
Tom currently serves as hospital administrator and chief of surgery at L'Hôpital Baptiste Biblique (HBB), ABWE’s mission hospital in southern Togo. Melissa, in addition to homeschooling, serves in the Guest House ministry and facilitates a weekly children's Bible club with the unreached Islamic community.
Tom received his medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in 2003. He then completed a general surgery residency in 2008, followed by a laparoscopic surgery fellowship in 2009. After a 4-year service commitment to the USAF, Tom left the military to enter full-time missions with ABWE in 2013. Their family began their first term in 2014.
The Kendalls are sent out by Grace Bible Church in Murrieta, California.
