Macha Hosptial

June 13, 2017 By Becky Owen

Macha Hospital entrance, Zambia

Ever since Jonathan and I started rubbing shoulders with the BIC church crowd, we’ve heard of this epic place called Macha Hospital. The stories we heard of the doctors, nurses, researchers and missionaries were filled with hope, success and, yes, realism. Even though Malawi is just a country away from Zambia, it is not a simple journey to get there! We were delighted when our team began discussion a pitstop and overnight at Macha on our trip to retreat this year. Finally, we were able to see where some of our coworkers have labored over 40 years in medical ministry and research.

Dr. Spurrier led our tour, describing the many expansions and evolution of work and ministry over the years — flexibility really is the name of the game!

We enjoyed a tour of the hospital and Macha Research Trust where groundbreaking work has been done regarding measles, malaria and HIV/AIDS.

Dr. Thuma describing research, findings and results of their work with malaria — really interesting, especially since we live in a country greatly affected by malaria!

It was a privilege to hear story upon story of God’s faithfulness and creativity through hardship as he worked through lives of the medical missionaries at Macha!

To God be the glory!
