An Ob/Gyn physician and a conservation biologist serving Christ in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Thanks for visiting our site! We are Taylor, Laura, and Evelyn Myatt, OB/GYN doctor and conservationist. Our story is founded in family, the community of believers, and the persistent whispering of an eternal God. Our inherited denominational roots in the Nazarene Church led us each to degrees from Mount Vernon Nazarene University in 2012, after which we married and Laura dove head first into medical school. Taylor worked as an arborist and eventually returned to academia to earn a Master of Environmental Science degree. In 2016, we moved to southeast Michigan for Laura’s 4 year OB/GYN residency. We moved to Papua New Guinea in March of 2021 as full time missionaries. Evelyn was born in 2023 and joined our family mission, quickly becoming a favorite amongst all of our friends and patients!
We have long felt a special love for medical missions in Papua New Guinea. Laura developed her passion for medicine through the example of her father, a dedicated Ob/Gyn. Taylor’s heritage includes relatives and family friends that have served in Kudjip. Together we have shared a mutual desire for a simple, service-oriented lifestyle in a cross-cultural context. God has used these strong influences to shape our path toward PNG, and we are humbled to fulfill His call in a place we have grown to love.
We are blessed to be a part of the Kudjip family and the Church of the Nazarene. Laura serves in the hospital delivering babies and caring for the women of Papua New Guinea. Taylor serves on the mission station helping maintain facilities and manage operations. Evelyn brings joy everywhere she goes, whether she is joining mom on her patient rounds in the hospital, tagging along with dad at worksites with his maintenance crew, or just being herself at home in our community. We appreciate your ongoing prayers and support for our ministry. Thank you for partnering with us!
