Madagascar

We are on our way to Madagascar! We left Cape Town, South Africa on Friday and we should arrive in Madagascar on Saturday the 25^th 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.

I will be glad when we arrive in Madagascar, then we can start surgeries again and see lives change.
