Dr. Shively speaks on medical missions at CU

Dr. Shively speaks on medical missions at CUBy Andrew Stinson, CU student news writer
Dr. Eugene Shively, a surgeon from Taylor Regional Hospital, discussed his many medical mission trips at Campbellsville University's chapel service recently.

Shively has aided in many medical missions during his years as a doctor. He visited Cameroon in 2000; Jamaica three times during 2001 and 2002; Togo, a part of West Africa, in 2003; Kenya in 2005; St. Vincent's Island and the Grenadines, located in the Caribbean Sea, in 2006 and the Galapagos Islands in 2007.<


br>Shively spoke of the Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS). It is their goal to train 100 surgeons by the year 2,020. There have been seven graduates.

During Shively's most recent excursion to the Galapagos Islands in 2007, there were 79 surgeries and 174 people having dental work done. Over 1,255 people were treated during the mission trip, but most importantly to Shively is that 230 people came to know Christ during his stay.

Shively referred to Matthew 28:19 when he said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit." Shively said he lives his life by this verse.

Shively and his family have many connections with Campbellsville University. In the 1930s, his grandfather was a chairman of the Board of Trustees. Both his father and mother received their associate's degrees from CU and his mother went on to receive her bachelor of arts degree from CU as well.

Shively is the son of Virginia Shively of Campbellsville and the late Eugene Shively. His grandfather was the late Alexander Shively.
