A Doctor’s Quest

by Robert S. Hoyt, M.D.

Dr. Hoyt was born in Korea in 1925, the son of a missionary surgeon. He holds degrees from the University of California (A.B. and M.D.) and took post-doctoral studies in pathology at the University of Cambridge in addition to specialty training at the University of California in San Francisco. He is a diplomat of the American Board of Pathology.

Late on a Sunday afternoon, in November of 1967, I found myself standing on the stage of the San Francisco Civic Auditorium at the end of an evangelistic meeting with Kathryn Kuhlman. This was a strange place for a medical doctor to be!

Many years of my life had been spent in medical school and pre-medical education, followed by an internship and then five years of scientific training and studying the anatomical and physiological changes of the body that occur in disease states. A pathologist is trained to study the origin, nature and, with the aid of modem medical instrumentation, the progress of disease in the human body.

Raised in a Christian missionary home, some of my earliest memories are of kneeling in our living room as we prayed for the needs of our family and the church. I claimed Jesus Christ as my Saviour during my teen years, and He carried me through many trials in military service during World War II in the Naval Air Force. After the war, I started pre-medical work and then entered medical school, but my witness was growing weaker and weaker. During my third year of post-doctoral training, a Christian doctor told me my Christian life was almost nonexistent. I am glad he did; it was a turning point in my life.

In 1965, I volunteered to go to Ethiopia for a year to establish a department of pathology at Haile Selassie I University. I went to satisfy my desire to serve God in my chosen field of medicine—as a non-professional medical missionary.

It was while I was in Africa that I came face to face with the reality of God’s power. I was particularly impressed with a Roman Catholic sister, a missionary, whose great love and compassion for the sick overwhelmed me. I saw Sister Gabriel throw her arms around lepers, tuberculosis patients, and persons with horrible skin diseases. I had never seen a love like this in action and I began to realize just how empty and powerless my own life was. I began to yearn for God’s love and power in my own life and committed myself to a deeper quest to find it than I ever had before.

During my year in Africa, I learned of the miraculous moving of the Holy Spirit in the Wallamo Province in the southwest part of Ethiopia. The details of this story, which took place during the Second World War, are found in Fire on the Mountains by Raymond Davis.
