Mother and child health


Hey everyone! 

We just finished up week ten of lectures learning about mother and child health and dehydration! It continues to blow my mind how many people are dying all over the world from causes that are just so preventable! It really breaks my heart, one thing that one of our teachers said was 'pregnancy is not an illness, but in these countries it is seen that way because so many woman die in child birth.' And a large amount of deaths during pregnancy and child birth could be prevented simply by basic nutrition through out the pregnancy. 

'The their comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that you may have life and have it abundantly!' -Jesus 
But it also gives me incredible hope that although there is a battle over these little ones life's , there is something that can be done, and even though it is heartbreaking, it is by no means hopeless! And this is what we are going to be doing in Nepal and Bangladesh, not only bringing physical life through education and healthcare but also bringing the life that comes from knowing Jesus! And I can't wait! I am just blown away by what an incredible opportunity this is to be Gods hands and feet! 

Thankyou so much for all of your prayer and support I have defiantly be feeling it and it means so much to me!

God has answers for the worlds problems!


Hey everyone!
We just finished up week eight of lectures with an incredible woman Jannet Ditto, who helped start the Iphc back In Kona speak this week! I feel like I'm learning so much and I love it! Our focus these last two weeks was on malnourished children and skin diseases, and it was just such a reminder of how Jesus really is our only hope! 

80% of the worlds healthcare needs can be met by simple health care- which is mostly stuff you and I already know! Which is so incredible because it means people just like you and me with no healthcare background can make such and impact on people's life's and communities! 

Our outreach location still isn't confirmed yet, but I am so excited to go knowing that I can use the skills and information I have been learning to bring hope to those who are most in need, and to empower people through education to see their life's transformed! 

Thankyou so much for your continued love and support throughout this whole journey! 

'We have two hands- one to proclaim the gospel, and one to show the love of God through acts of mercy, through doing!' - Jannet Ditto
