Stories of Africa’s people
Discover how God is working through the lives of ordinary people to extend his kingdom. Read stories from Africa's people and missionaries, sent from around the world, as they seek to share the good news with those who have yet to hear it.
Managing risk
Jurgen & Katja Hofmann serve in a remote village in Madagascar. Here they share some of the challenges about where they live.
Whole health
Our living and working environments, our background and beliefs,
and our mental health and physical health are all intertwined.
Smiling through pain
Kay serves as a nurse on an Indian Ocean Island. There, the local religion plays a key part in dictating how suffering is viewed.
Translating hope
Anglelo became a Christian when he was attending school outside of the Laarim area. After finishing school he returned home, wanting to share the gospel with his own people. Angelo can speak Laarim and English so he has been a great asset to the recent team serving among the Laarim. He has started to help with the translation of Bible stories and advised with cultural differences.
Challenge and Change
We have a significant shortage of healthcare providers, as 51% of doctors born and trained in Kenya work abroad. 40 of the 47 counties have less than 1 doctor to 10,000 compared to the recommended ratio of 1:1000.
A medical bill away from bankruptcy
As healthcare providers we continue to serve and share Christ’s love whilst always longing for the day when there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
Why do we suffer?
We are surrounded by pain, and the only condition for suffering it is to live long enough to experience it. Suffering is one of the most consistent themes of the Bible. We live in a fallen, broken, bleeding world.
Best. Job. Ever.
I love being a doctor, and using medicine to demonstrate the love and compassion of our Saviour, especially in places where he is not known.
Sharing Compassion
We asked one of our missionaries serving in healthcare in a creative access location to share about their experiences.
Learning to Serve
Becoming a Christian aged 21, Alexandra is excited to serve God using her profession. She works as a doctor in a hospital in Vevey, Switzerland, and is considering further mission work in the future.
