KENYA MEDICAL MISSION 
9/28/16-10/31/2016

"Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have done you have accomplished for us." Isaiah 26:12

This trip will be a whirlwind of activity.  I leave 9/28/16 for Migori, Kenya with Kenya Relief.  This will be my first time with this organisation which is home to a Medical clinic, OR facilities, and an orphanage.  I will be bringing one of our ENT residents with me.  I anticipate a busy schedule in the OR and clinic for 4 work days.  From here I will travel back to Tenwek Hospital, our usual stomping grounds.  Jimmy will meet me here for 2 weeks.  He will be busy with the water filtration project.  he hopes to provide clean water to another school that is home to 1000 students.  He will also check in with Kitoban Orphanage.  My last week will be spent at Kijabe helping with cleft lip and palate surgeries.  This was a miraculous organisational feat by our great and awesome God.

I am resting in the Lord's peace as I prepare to leave.  There are many preparations but no worries as I trust the Lord for all the details.  I am so grateful to be involved in this awesome work.  I am also so thankful for the saints who hold be up in the battle.  Please keep praying!!

Prayer requests:
- all luggage will make it through customs without searching or extra tax
- comfortable seats on the many planes to Nairobi and the 8 hour drive to Migori
- ability to sleep and orient quickly to the 7 hour time change
- That I will be able to discern who I am to operate on
- For healing of the Kenyan people
- Jimmy would be able to pick up the water filters in Nairobi without problems
- We could be an encouragement to the full time missionaries
- The Holy Spirit will be present and touching all those we encounter
- Provision for my patients at home
- Protection for our kids while we are away

Thank you for joining us in this awesome ministry.  I will try to keep you updated often on the Blog this year.

God bless,
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
