There is Hope!

Hey everyone! 

Just finished up my third week of lectures, with a focus on HIV/AIDs and TB this week. It was so incredible to have Dr Sujai and his wife lavanya sharing not just the facts about these diseases but also Gods heart for them and the people affected.

The biggest thing I got out of it is that there is HOPE for those affected by HIV, and although there isn't yet a cure, you can extend their life by up 17+ years, which gives them a greater oppurtunity to not only come to know God but to be used by him to do incredible things for the kingdom of God! 

There are countless story's they have told of HIV+ people who have been totally redeemed and given life by the clinic they run and by the love of God shown to them, for example a bible study of HIV+ women that has been started up and are now supporting a pastor in India.

And a boy who has been HIV+ since birth and is now 19 and studying at university thanks to proactive treatment and care! 

Thank you for all your continued prayer and support! Feel free to message or Skype me anytime to find out more:)

God Bless!

*p.s. I am still trying to figure out how to post photos, but if you would like to check out some snaps there are a few on Facebook:) 

Introduction to primary healthcare

Hey everyone! 

So it's been a little while since I've done an update, but for those of you who don't know I am in Perth at the moment doing the Introduction to Primary HealthCare school that they run on the YWAM here.  

I am in the second week of the three month lecture phase, where we are studying basic health care, so that we will be equipped to administer and train others in a developing nation for three months on the outreach phase of the school.

Already I feel like I have learnt so much, not only on the medical side; how to check vitals and what it indicates, different medical terminology( it is like a whole other language!)  etc, but also being really challenged to live out and apply more fully things that I already know, such as exerting self control in all areas of my life.

I would love it if you could partner with me in prayer for this time I am here; that I will be able to learn everything I can in my time here and that I will continue to be learning to trust in Gods strength rather than my own .
