Spending a month immersed in
life at Kiwoko taught me so much,
both professionally and personally.
There were de昀椀nitely some harder moments; I found it par琀椀cularly
di昀케cult seeing pa琀椀ents with complicated cri琀椀cal illnesses, which
I would not see back home, and
watching people forgo poten琀椀ally life-saving treatment because
they could not a昀昀ord it. However,
what really amazed me was seeing
the incredible work the sta昀昀 there
are able to do with such limited resources compared to what we have
back in the UK. I was challenged
by the extensive knowledge of the
doctors which enabled them to
make diagnoses with very limited
inves琀椀ga琀椀on results, and this has
mo琀椀vated me to keep studying
hard in the hope that one day I may
be able to apply my knowledge in a
similar way!
Going to Uganda was a huge step
of faith. I had never really considered serving overseas before God
started giving me subtle nudges about it last year, and the idea
completely terri昀椀ed me! However,
God surpassed my expecta琀椀ons in
every possible way and has shown
me that He is more than worthy of
my trust! One thing that par琀椀cularly moved me was the hospital’s
mo琀琀o, “We treat, Jesus heals”. They
have a video on their website with
lots of di昀昀erent sta昀昀 members saying what they each do at the hospital (e.g. “I diagnose, Jesus heals”,
“I clean, Jesus heals”, “I teach, Jesus
heals”). Watching this was such a
wonderful reminder for me that our
individual contribu琀椀ons, whatever
they look like, are all seen and used
by Jesus, and together He can use
them to achieve beau琀椀ful things!
It has been the most wonderful
experience, and I would love to
go back to Kiwoko Hospital one
day for a longer period of 琀椀me.
Please be praying for the hospital,
that Jesus would con琀椀nue to be
at the heart of all they do! Praise
God for the openness of so many
people there to hearing the gospel
already, and please be praying that
many more hearts will turn to Him
through the amazing work of the
sta昀昀 at Kiwoko Hospital!
