Knutson was

introduced to hands-on medical missions during his early medical training

at the Medical College of Georgia when he took short-term trips to South

America.

After moving

to Fayetteville to begin his pediatric practice 21 years ago, Knutson

continued his interest in missions and became the chairman of Covenant's

missions committee. In that capacity, he made trips to various parts of

the world, visiting the church's missionaries and noting the widespread

needs.

Several years

ago, the Knutsons lived aboard the mission ship "Doulos," with

Tyrone-based Operation Mobilization, and toured between Singapore and

India for six weeks.

Dr. and Mrs.

Knutson left March 18 for their mission trip and will be joined by daughter

Amy after she completes the school year in June.

The Presbyterian

Church in America has a number of missionaries in the area of eastern

Asia.
