Missionary of the Week

In the midst of ongoing civil unrest and a global pandemic, God’s work continues at Mbingo Baptist Hospital in Cameroon. In preparation for COVID-19 patients, Dr. Dennis Palmer is working hard to complete an oxygen system that is essential for the care of COVID-19 patients, as well as others struggling with respiratory issues. Power outages have also once again punctuated the importance of the completion of the hydro-electric project at the hospital. Dr. Palmer is hopeful that if the funds are available this project could be completed this year.

Please pray for this ongoing work, and if you are able, visit our special project page where you can give to either the oxygen system or the hydroelectric project. Thank you for your ongoing support.
