Miles In Missions

I had a conversation recently with a local Nigerian and this is what he told me. “Once the new OPD is finished God will bring people from towns all over to come and be healed. Watch and you will see! Everyone will talk about this hospital and how it is up to international standards so they can come and be healed.” I have only been here for a little over two months and watching the progress is amazing.

A little over a year ago the demolition of  the current OPD started so construction could begin on the new one. There is more than the OPD that is under construction by Samaritans Purse. Compound housing upgrades, water, electricity and so much more. Every two weeks we are greeted with new smiling faces of volunteers that take time away from family and friends to come and help paint, install cabinets, run new electricity grids and more. Click Samaritans Purse to see how you can come and volunteer.

Once the OPD is complete and the patients start coming we are going to need a lot of staff to help. If you are in the medical field in any capacity we need you. Come for 2 weeks, 1 month, 1 year but just come.  I have been told that anytime a Western Doctor comes to Egbe people come from all over to be seen. I cannot wait to see this as we have an OBGYN doctor and her nurse coming soon. The increase in patients helps the hospital so much which in turn helps this community. Ophthalmologist, AIDS/HIV specialist, Teaching Doctors, Ear Nose and Throat, OBGYN, Family Medicine, Physicians Assistant etc etc…. come and let the skills God gave you heal the people of Egbe. Click World Medical Missions to volunteer.

Last but not least we are hoping to release short term team schedules for 2014 for churches, bible study groups and individuals. Just because you are not skilled in construction or medical doesn’t mean you cannot come and help the people of Egbe. The ministry opportunities here are endless from Orphaned children, teaching opportunities for pastors, doctors and school teachers, administrative, cooking & baking, Fulani outreach, agriculture and farming and more.
