Go Where You are Needed

The Faith Alive Hospital Team has been working in and around Jos. They have traveled to a variety of surrounding villages and remote clinics in order to provide assistance. Below are some of the pictures and stories they have passed along from the past few days:

Chief of Bakin-Kogi with children after they sang the Nigerian national anthem for us.

Workers in fields near Jos.

Women leaving the fields on their way to market.

Rob "snapping" kids at Faith Alive Hospital remote clinic in Kafanchan. This clinic will be moved to Bakin-Kogi, and this site will be turned into a sewing school and social outreach center. Bakin-Kogi is 2 hours away from Jos by car.

Near Jos.

Home visit outside Jos: "Lotti" has TB and AIDS, and lives here with her brother and sister and their families. Her sister first took her to Faith Alive Hospital. She is now able to stand up, and is getting better. But she cannot come in to the clinic so the Home Care team brings the clinic to her, providing medication and spiritual support. We had an opportunity to pray with her for healing, comfort and strength and the health of her family. We were all moved. We are seeing God and so many miracles.

Just some clarifications on the photos:

The "High Chief" was just a chief - there is a High Chief, called a King, or Sarki, but he was not there. That was my msitake.

Bakan-kogi is almost 2 hours away, not 20 minutes. It was a long day.

The women were not leaving the fields for a storm, they were just on the way to market.
