Sometimes, I need a little inspiration in my work, home life, and faith. This month, I want to share two sources of inspiration and encouragement. Enjoy!
The first is an article written by Dr. Eric McLaughlin, a graduate of the Post-Residency Program (World Medical Mission) and a physician at Kibuye Hope Hospital in Burundi - he and his wife Rachel are also our team leaders through Serge. He's also written an excellent book, Promises In the Dark: Walking with Those in Need Without Losing Heart.

The second is a new video from our local videographer and teammate, Regan, featuring our two plastic surgeons who have been doing facial reconstruction surgery for patients from outside of Kenya with limited access to healthcare and no access to specialized surgeons. These patients stay in Kapsowar for months at a time to have multistage surgeries performed.
(I'm not very familiar with Vimeo and can't figure out how to embed the video, so you'll just have to follow the link or search for "Becoming Whole: Facial Reconstructive Surgery at Kapsowar Mission Hospital" on the Vimeo website. https://vimeo.com/932169521 )
