Jimmy and Chase Miller- Serving Kenya since 2011

We have made it home and are praising God for his protection and provision.  Everyone is healthy just tired.  The trip home took 37 hours of straight travel! We travelled from rural Kenya past the traditional huts and women walking to the river for needed water.  Donkeys carrying the water jugs and the men overseeing the fields.  Small towns preparing for the saturday market day.  We arrived in Nairobi friday afternoon to unceasing traffic in the city.  We were amazed at the absence of traffic lights.  There seemed to be one road with several intersections but no order to them.  We survived the chaos.  Customs and security checks were routine praise God. I return with a burdened heart for the suffering patients and the full time missionaries who day in and day out treat the unceasing stream of casualties.  I unloaded my grief on the Lord today and thank Him as he is so much more able to provide and bless than I am.  It is with...

Internet connection has been intermittent, electrical power has been on and off because of the drought.  I am unable to add pictures at the present time because of the weak connection. Today Jimmy led a Devotion time for the physicians and resident staff.  God orchestrated the morning such that I gave a lecture to follow.  We both have felt strongly that part of our role on this trip has been as encouragers to the full time missionary physicians.  I heard the Lord's words of encouragement flow from Jimmy to the physicians.  It was a blessing and I know they were absorbing every word.  My lecture started with additional words of encouragement and teaching based on a patient experience I had had at Tenwek.  The Holy Spirit is our teacher and as physicians how can we possibly believe that we can know everything about our specialty fields.  Physicians can get so absorbed with head knowledge but what we need is knowledge of God and His...
