The Inauguration of Maü Pata,
our Hospital Boat
On Sunday, February 11th, the hospital boat was docked in Puerto Nariño, Colombia, where people gathered in a soccer stadium to celebrate the inauguration of Maü Pata. Local leaders, including: the mayor, the minister of health, a pastor and a priest were all present. Juan Alan, our International Partners Director, Jillian Neven, our Senior Accounting Manager, and Ryan Coffey, lead pastor at Lifehouse Church, spoke and praised God for His goodness and faithfulness. Everyone celebrated with cake and juice, and gave out balloons to the children. It was a huge success and we are excited to celebrate this great accomplishment! Praise God for all He has done. Enjoy some photos from the event in Colombia on Sunday!

Greetings from MMI Ghana

Click the button below to meet Seth Ephraim Tetteh-Quaye, Country Director and Project Director for MMI Ghana. In this video, Seth introduces us to Belinda Donkor Odoom, who came to an MMI Ghana mobile clinic in Mamobi, Ghana. She walked to the project site where Medical Ministry International had a mobile clinic. Most people in this area of Ghana cannot afford medical treatment - even with health insurance - so they don't usually go to their local hospitals for help. Belinda came to the MMI Ghana medical clinic with a stomach ulcer and infections. She was pleasantly surprised by the help she received, and went home to invite her family to go for a medical screening.
