We are on our way to Madagascar! We left Cape Town, South
Africa on Friday and we should arrive in Madagascar on Saturday the 25th
of October. We will be there until June offering free surgical care to those in
need.
It has been a long time since I wrote in my blog, this is
due to the last few months being a strange time of waiting and leaning on God.
As some of you know we were due to go to Guinea in August but due to the ebola
this was postponed. Then Benin was our next country to serve, but then we
waited to see, as the ebola virus came to Nigeria (Benin is right next to
Nigeria). After some time and the management seeking advice it was decided that
it would be safer for the ship to go somewhere else. Congo was thought of, but
that door closed. Then came Madagascar and it has been great to see God open
one door after another.
It has been tough seeing West Africa in so much pain due to
the ebola. It breaks my heart to see them suffer. Praying God will do a miracle
in those countries affected.
