About CFTW
together we create a special world
Meet Dr. John Bickert - President of CFTW
Dr. Bickert is an excellent human being, motivated to help people who don't have basic health facilities and education. He has made eight trips to India since November 2016 and started many projects for health and education. He believes that “love” should cause all of us to act, spend our time, talents and God’s gifts to assist those in underdeveloped countries.
Dr. John is struck by the many stories shared with him of others in the organization who have worked unselfishly to build a school in a remote area of Ghana, travel to Rwanda, and Peru and has been affected by his very own personal experiences in assisting those in need through chiropractic care. He states that the unassuming nature of many who come for attention and their tremendous graciousness and thankfulness are life-changing.
Dr. Bickert has been married for 52 years and is the father of 6 children and the grandfather of 13 children.
Meet Other Members of CFTW
Dr. Sharon MArshall
Vice President
Dr. Sharon Marshall traveled a lot as a child, following work with her father who was a crane operator on international pipeline contracts. As a consequence of the travel as a youth, she has seen firsthand what third world poverty really looks like and how devastating it is to those who cope with it.
She is thankful to CFTW for providing an opportunity to reach into some of these communities with restorative health care and practical financial incentives to help those in need. CFTW works with local groups already in place to be more effective with outreach, since it is not necessary to spend time laying ground work. By teaming with these groups we can be much more effective with our help and resources.
