dr-sacra-liberia-320

A Christian missionary doctor who recovered from Ebola returned to Liberia this week. Dr. Rick Sacra contracted the disease there in August while working with the group S.I.M. Sacra said he wanted to go back to help his colleagues in an overburdened hospital. He won’t be working in the Ebola ward, even though doctors say he’s now immune. Sacra said he isn’t anxious to test that immunity.
