I had the opportunity to hear Jenny York, a nursing student at Western Kentucky University, talk about her summer mission trip to the Congo last night. It was amazing. She went to a VERY remote area deep in the jungle to assist at the Pioneer Christian Hospital.
She was privileged to help deliver a baby while she was there — a highlight for her. But she also witnessed first hand the amputation of the leg of a six year old due to a traumatic injury. Leprosy, yellow fever, and malaria are common in this area of the world. So Jenny got invaluable experience working with patients with those diseases.
I was thrilled to hear all the ways God provided for Jenny and for her hospital while she was gone and even after her return. I hope you will take the time to watch this video clip from our local tv station.
If you are interested in contributing to the hospital financially, here is the link to do that.
(Add your donation amount, press “give,” click on “add instructions to finance office,” add the phrase, “for Poor Fund Pioneer Christian Hospital,” and continue to provide your information.)
Keep in mind that just 20 cents can provide the medication necessary to save a life from malaria. Imagine what $20 could do.
Thank you, Jenny, for answering God’s call to the Republic of Congo. He used you well.
