Paul & Becky Geary
Serving Indonesia
Dr. Paul Geary, serving at Bethesda Mission Hospital in Indonesia, collaborates with individuals from diverse tribal, cultural, and economic backgrounds, including Christians, animist Dayaks, Buddhist Chinese, Islamic Malayu, and Javanese. These individuals seek compassionate and affordable medical care. (For a brief historical context, Paul’s parents, Wendell and Marge Geary, established Bethesda Hospital in 1965.)
Despite residing in Minnesota, Paul has been actively involved in mentoring several dozen Indonesian Christian doctors. His mission is to provide competent healthcare in the name of Jesus. Additionally, he offers administrative and management support, as well as technical assistance, to the medical facilities at Bethesda.
In recent years, the hospital has undergone significant changes and challenges due to shifts in government regulations. Paul has played a crucial role in the administration training and management assistance at the hospital. He has been instrumental in retooling the Bethesda ministry to adapt to the new era of challenges and opportunities.
