Staff Spotlight - Ann Topping

I was born and grew up in Cowdenbeath, Fife Scotland. I am married with 4 children and 9 grandchildren.
I did my nursing training in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
I became a Christian when I was 10 yrs. old and felt God’s call to foreign missionary service during my nursing training.
I spent 2 yrs. at a Missionary Training College in Glasgow, Scotland then 1 yr. of language study in Albertville France.
I served in Senegal, West Africa for 11 yrs. and was married there to my husband Gordon who is from Glasgow, Scotland. We served the Lord together there and 3 of our 4 children were born there. I operated a rural clinic in Senegal for some of the time and we were involved in evangelism and church planting.
When we returned to Scotland I went back to hospital nursing and Gordon pastured a church there. In 1988 God called us to the U.S.A and for 19 yrs. I was a pastor’s wife in Pine Bluff Ar. while working in CCU at the hospital there. I also worked in home health and hospice for a while.
I was involved in the Hope Center, in Pine Bluff, with their Women of Integrity Program.
My husband and I retired in 2007 and moved to NWA. I became involved with Loving Choices last year and volunteered in the Care Center. In Feb. this year I accepted the post of Nurse Manager in the Rogers Clinic. I count it a privilege to serve the Lord here.
