our very first patient.

This is Ebenezer. He is a Graphic Web-Designer from Lagos, Nigeria. His tumor had been growing for 12 years. His story started with Mercy Ships while we were docked in Guinea. ( See more about his amazing journey here)

  He was the Hope Centre's very first patient. He was there before we even officially opened & before we had put together all 150 beds that our new facility holds. It has been amazing to be apart of this man's story. The other patient's and Day-Crew workers at the Hope Centre refer to him as Pastor Ebenezer. He is always encouraging to all of those around him & he loves leading worship & playing the guitar. I feel so priveleged to see the small daily transformation. Especially as the swelling goes down.

Here is one of the Hope Centre Wards and one of our adorable cleft-lip patients Vernel!

We currently have 7 patients staying at the Hope Centre. We have become like a little family. I seriously feel like I have the best job in the world! So blessed by their smiles and warmth, each and every day!
