Jimmy and Chase Miller- Serving Kenya since 2011

patients catching some sun outside the ward We have arrived home safely.  Thank you for all the prayers amongst the turmoil  of the Kenyan reelection process.  We felt safe but there were daily protests mainly in areas of support for the contestant.  the reelection occurred and there was a poor turnout.  this could effect the validity of the election and destabilize Kenya further.  Please keep them in your prayers. I left my heart in Kenya again!  I have such a love for the people there.  I know that comes from the Lord and I am grateful that he continues to call me to serve the people there.  It was a shortened visit this year because of the elections but despite this much work was done.  there were some unusual cases as usual this year.  My cry to the Lord is please show me who you would have me care for.  some many of the problems are difficult to treat.  The people come trusting for their cure.  That is tough to carry.  I must constantly remind myself that God has brought m

I am amazed how God can so wonderfully reverse a curse.  I have written before how the cleft lip and palate deformity are considered a curse here in Kenya.  Many mothers are ostracized from their tribe if they bare a child with these deformities.  it is thought to be due to the sin of the mother.  these shamed mothers and their precious children come desperate to ENT camp at AIC CURE hospital in Kijabe for surgery.  this year we had a team of 7 physicians, nurse anaesthetist, OR nurse, and tech who teamed up with the Kenyan staff to perform 49 surgeries.  We were the draw but the real work was spiritual.  the women were encouraged daily with the Gospel and word of Christ.  on discharge day a blessing ceremony was held and the mother's had a name changing opportunity where the child's name was changed to represent the curse being changed to a blessing.  Mother's praised the blessing of the Lord and the opportunity to have their shame removed.  We had a group of 9 muslim wome

We apologize for the very late blog updates, but we've experienced some difficulties with internet.  We all had some travel difficulties this year, but we made it only by God's grace - thank you for your prayers!  Chase arrived a bit later than expected in Nairobi Saturday night, but was able to hook-up with the Cleft lip team and travel over Kijabe.  The team performed 49 cleft lip surgeries and that equals many, many transformed lives, not just for the children, but for the parents as well! Jimmy and Hunter arrived in Nairobi Thursday night, October 5th and spent two nights in Nairobi.  We met up with Jimmy and Rose Wambua and connected again for the Sawyer water filters.  We toured the Japmor offices, enjoyed lunch together and went to their home for Chai.  Saturday we left to go pick up Chase and off to Tenwek Hospital. Chase saw patients on Monday and then woke up Tuesday morning feeling ill.  Looks like she may have had some bad food or water and became dehydrated.
