Reflections of the Clinic Team

How amazing after two years to see a vision become reality. More than half of the team returning to Uganda was part of the 2005 House of Hope construction team. At that time Travis Decanter(in boat with glasses) shared his story and the impact the lack of medical care had on him as a child. A vision was birthed and the journey began. Now Travis and the Mississippi team with the help of others returned to have "their hands on the bricks to build the clinic." The group raised over $30,000 to construct the clinic organizing auctions, fish frys and other fundraising events in several neighboring towns in northern Mississippi.


The team toured the main clinic facility which offers support to the Bethany Clinic being constructed. Dr. Martin is the director of Wentz Medical Center and the visiting physician who works with a nurse practitioner at the village clinic.


Below are some pictures of the children being served by the clinic. As one of the Bethany staff members said, "a hug or a pat on the back means the world to these children who have been so alone and without attention." If we didn't do anything else but show the love of Jesus with a hug, a pat or an encouraging word the trip was a success.
