Romy and Linda Caringal are physicians from the Philippines. Their cross-cultural ministries are wrapped around two countries: Zambia (1988-1995) and Nepal (1998-2006). Provision of holistic patient care is their thrust in ministry, along with support of national churches and mentoring of believers.

They earned their medical degrees in the Philippines (Far Eastern University) and their master's degrees in public health from Boston University (Linda) and Yale University (Romy). Both completed cross-cultural studies at Overseas Ministries Study Center in New Haven, Connecticut. Romy is an ordained minister in The Wesleyan Church. They are blessed with twin children: Hannah and Nathan ('97).

Romy and Linda received Christ through a campus ministry while they were premedical students. Before completing his pediatric residency, Romy sensed God's call for mission work overseas. Linda answered the call to missions during a missionary service in her home church in Metro Manila.

Romy and Linda's vision is "to see many more individuals develop a personal relationship with Christ, who will lead transformed lives and become part of a thriving church that will reach out to other Asians." They will return to Asia in 2007 to provide leadership in 11 countries where Global Partners is engaged.
