On my way home

By -
It has been an incredible trip.  I am so grateful to God for all that He has done for His people.  It has been His miraculous work.  God has faithfully brought His people to me.  At first it was a massive rush, then a steady pace each day.  I have lost count of the number of salvations.  God has expanded His kingdom.  He has been victorious over the darkness.  Even to the last day today He has continued to do His work.  This morning I was asked to see a man who had been beaten.  He had been drinking and was assaulted with a Rungu in the face.  He had multiple deep lacerations on his face and lost his left eye.  I examined him and reported to the surgical team my advice on his further care. as I would be leaving.  I had rounded and was done for the day.  I had much to pack to prepare for the long journey home but a very gentle thought came to mind to check on him and make sure he knew Jesus.  the patient was very repentant and admitted  he did not know Jesus.  I shared the gospel and he so willingly invited Jesus into his heart and confessed with his mouth his faith.  As with the others I felt a palpable change in the air.  I was sure he was a new creation and he would have a different path for his life.  Thank you Jesus!

Victim of assault

My little 11 year old with the parotid tumor went home.  She healed beautifully and her facial function has almost returned to normal.



 My heart is broken as I think about leaving these precious people and my wonderful residents that I taught.  As I said good by to my residents the Lord reminded me "It was me that was here, I am still with them".  thank you Lord.  Please bring me back again soon!


Blessings to you,
Chase Miller

Arrived home

 We arrived back home safely for Easter!  Thank you for all your prayers.  This trip was a tough one but God proved Himself faithful as always.  God answered prayers in so many ways. 1. He poured forth rain from heaven.  The drought has ended and the people are rejoicing in the plentiful rains on the country. Compare this to week one photo of the waterfall at Tenwek.  The rains have allowed the hydroelectric plant to run again.  The fields are green again! 2. He healed His people physically!  This patient has TB of the spine.  She was paralyzed from the waist down and unable to sit up in bed.  Her arms were weak.  She underwent incision and drainage of a soft tissue abscess and spine stabilization.  I helped with the access in the neck for the neurosurgery team. She is now able to sit up in a wheel chair and strength is returning to her arms.  This is beyond what we could have hoped.  God is working His miracles. 3. He is healing His people spiritually.  This patient came in through ca

First Week

 I arrived safely after an arduous journey.  I did get questioned at customs again and needed to pay a Tarif but it was a reasonable rate this time.  I have been without internet until yesterday so I apologize for a late update. My first week was quite busy in clinic as I screened patients for upcoming surgeries.  We has some late nights but it is great to be back serving the Kenyans.  I have performed multiple biopsies on various tumors.  Unfortunately there is no pathologist here so the biopsies can take up to 3 weeks for results.  We will make daily calls to try to move up the cases urgently. This patient was ecstatic!  He was diagnosed with severe hearing loss in both ears.  I fit him with a digital hearing aid and he was able to hear clear for the first time in years!  They live 5 hours away and were so blessed! This is a typical thyroid goiter for this region.  She underwent evaluation of her vocal cords in preparation for upcoming surgery.  This will be a tough one to be done al

Chebonei Girls High School

Classrooms at Chebonei Girls High School We were recently invited to the Chebonei Girls High School to see if we could help them with water filtration.  We set up (2) 100 liter tanks (25-gallons each) and put two filters in each tank and then drilled another 5 pails that will collect the clean water with faucets.  They've been purchasing cases upon cases of bottled water, which gets very expensive, for their drinking water.  They have 2 large rain tanks that are currently empty, but they do have some water that is tapped in from the hospital, but the volume is not adequate and it is not always safe to drink.  They will now transport some water up from the river and use the filters to clean it. The school houses up to 507 high school girls ages 14-18 years old.  Hunter has visited them for games and was part of a devotional team that brought a message and did praise and worship music for them.  It is a Christian School, but not all are necessarily 'Believers' - they
