Ray of Hope

On Sunday January 22, 2017, I traveled to Mampong, a town about an hour northeast of the hospital, with Dr. Nkansah, Rev. Eric (hospital's chaplain) and Mr. Kofi to visit the triplets. Gina (their mom) is currently staying with an Aunt in Mampong and we were glad to learn that she and the kids were being treated well. We visited with them for about an hour, presented a few essential items and headed back to Ankaase.

Gina is an orphan whose mom passed when she (Gina) was 3 years old.  Due to what I will describe as complex family issues, this couple had trouble paying their hospital bills. In addition, they were being evicted from their home. We settled their bills with help from the Anidasowoha fund and followed up on their accommodation issues. After multiple discussions with family members, we found accommodation for them; the boy would stay with his mom until high school graduation (he is in the final year) and the girl, with her sister (Tina) until the babies were born. During this process, we met several family members including the young girl’s family head. The f...

Happy New Year to all our subscribers and readers. Thank you again for your dedication and support to the blog and our ministry in Ghana. We wish you a blessed and prosperous year filled with good health and fond memories. We are happy to announce the launching of the Methodist Faith Healing Hospital’s Facebook page. Please visit and like our page at https://www.facebook.com/mfhhospital/ Today, January 7 2017, marks the inauguration of the newly elected Ghanaian president. We are hoping that he will institute policies that will positively affect the healthcare system and enable us to provide quality care for patients. Due to power outages and unreliable electricity supply, we are raising funds to set up a solar power source to decrease the hospital’s dependence on the government’s electrical grid. An account has been set up with the mission society to help streamline the fundraising efforts. Please visit our page at https://www.themissionsociety.org/partners-and-project...
