Yesterday we erected a containment area for our two cholera patients and got a bunch of our CTC equipment out of storage. We haven’t had any more people come for treatment, but we have heard that some areas are being infected with the bacteria again. We continue to pray and trust God to stay the […]

What went through your mind when you read the title of this post? Probably the same thing that went through my mind yesterday when I heard that word come across the radio… Someone had come into the clinic with symptoms of the dreaded sickness, and they were evaluating the patient.

Yesterday we had a post about the little baby girl who hadn’t eaten for 15 days; several hours after she came in, we decided she needed to go out to the hospital in town. She had stabilized and we felt it would be better for her to be in the hospital. So, yesterday when Michael

Today a woman came in with her newborn baby girl. It is severely emaciated, and when asked when the last time it ate, she said it hadn’t eaten since it was born– 15 days ago! Michael, Anita and Virginia are working hard to keep it alive and revive it. It’s in very bad shape. Please

There is a man from church that has been wanting us to give medicine for his wife now for a long time, but she is not able to get around well and thus doesn’t get down to the clinic. (They live up the mountain about 35 minutes hike from the mission.) Andrew, his sister Abigail,
