The Life They Now Live: Role of Missionary Hospitals in Sub Saharan Africa
Jesus' self confessed mandate was to proclaim good news to the poor and validate this message through miracles like healing. He sent out his followers to do likewise. Mission hospitals are the penultimate example of restoring health in the name of a Saviour who loves them. As a group of healthcare missionaries at Mbingo Hospital, Cameroon, we see the role for mission hospitals/systems for the following reasons: compassionate care, competence, an opportunity to reflect our faith, humility, vision, perseverance, social justice, integrity and accountability. We provide examples for each. Missionary hospitals/systems in sub-Saharan Africa are a training group for the principles all of us need to mature in during our Christ-centered journey of life.
