Carson Wolf Will Show Mercy to Thousands
Carson will
embark on a unique adventure this summer serving thousands off the coast of Liberia,
Africa, on the Mercy Ships. Carson
writes, “Many of you may be unaware that
I have spent the last nine months at the University of Rhode Island pursuing my graduate degree in Physical Therapy. I can’t even quantify the amount of
information I’ve learned, but I CAN tell you that what my professors have
taught me pales in comparison to how much God has taught me this past
year. God is preparing my heart for a
summer of ministry through medicine…”
Carson Wolf is SSCA’s first graduate to enter a doctorate
program. After graduating from South
Shore Christian Academy
in 2000, Carson went to Eastern
Nazarene College,
Quincy, MA,
where he earned a bachelor’s degree in health sciences with a minor in
psychology in 2004. A talented athlete,
Carson continued his soccer career at ENC after playing for SSCA.
Carson worked
diligently as a personal trainer at Fitness Design, Needham,
MA, and then became a manager of the studio
where physical therapists custom designed programs for their clients.
Carson is especially interested in neurological
physical therapy and working with stroke survivors. He specifically loves helping individuals who
have survived a traumatic experience.
The oldest of four, Carson
attended Christian elementary and secondary schools. A humble man of God, Carson strives to live
by Romans 12. SSCA is thrilled to see
its graduates live out the spiritual and academic vision on which the school
was founded.

Cassie Murray, Class of 2005, Returns From Global Study of Health Care Systems
Cassie is currently a senior at Boston University where she is
studying Health Sciences. She plans to continue and earn her Ph.D. in
nursing.
Cassie is especially interested in health care systems and
anthropology. She recently traveled around the world to observe and
participate in a variety of health care systems including those in New
Zealand, South Africa, and Brazil.
"When treating the sick, you aren't just treating
the disease, you are treating all other needs and you need to
understand the culture, the people, the economics, and the systemic
problems in order to be highly effective," Cassie explained.
Cassie has found that South Africa, despite being riddled with
turmoil, simultaneously shimmers with endless possibility. "There are
so many resources and there is so much hope in South Africa."
Cassie hopes to return to South Africa when she completes her doctorate degree.
