\"Joana\"<\/a>

Joana back in reunion with family, celebrating her 19th birthday<\/p><\/div>\n

Dad, mom, Ben, Jason and Gloria left for Mozambique on the 6th.\u00a0Since then I’ve been surviving in Kenya with the companionship of Terry,\u00a0a Chinese friend of many years. As she is working with one of the local\u00a0Chinese churches in Nairobi, I have also found myself quite involved\u00a0there. On the 16th there was a big revival meeting aimed at uniting the\u00a0different Chinese congregations in Nairobi. It took 2 whole days to\u00a0prepare that great event. The meeting was a grand affair with pastors\u00a0who just arrived from Hong Kong along with TV filming crew. It was a\u00a0wonderful opportunity to get to know more Chinese Christians here and to\u00a0feel the power of God working among them. This Sunday we had our church
\nmeeting outdoors!! We all drove out to lake Naivasha and worshiped while\u00a0gazing at God s marvelous creations. A Brother who is a professional\u00a0Chinese chief then prepared an amazing BBQ afterwards.\u00a0This Month I was also very busy with interning. I was recently
\ntransferred to Bagathi district hospital. It s the hospital that\u00a0boarders and services the great Kibera slum. The hospital itself is just\u00a0a collection of low, stone buildings that house very meager facilities\u00a0and an unbelievable amount of patients.<\/p>\n

Joana at Mbagati Hospital, Nairobi<\/p><\/div>\n

They call it the hospital where
\npeople come to die as around \u00be of the patients are HIV positive in their\u00a03-4th stage. Almost all the medical staff is interns and we all do the\u00a0best we can. I pray every day for God s protection as I work there.\u00a0This month has been a month of challenge and adventure and\u00a0experience. As I look back on it, I see God s protection and guidance
\nthroughout. God bless you all!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
