HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Being a mother brings great joy. But, for many impoverished moms in Liberia, widespread malnutrition and lack of healthcare threaten the lives of their children.
To help, Samaritan's Purse partnered with ELWA Hospital in Liberia's capital of Monrovia to build a pediatric ICU and malnutrition treatment center. “It's possible we could have lost an entire generation of children in this country,” said Dr. Michael Bryant. “The work of Samaritan's Purse at ELWA has essentially helped to rescue these children.”
As mothers and their babies are cared for, they see God's love demonstrated by doctors, nurses, and medical staff who share the Gospel with them. “This is the first time many of these moms get to actually see something of Christ. And we've got to make that count,” Dr. Bryant said. “The medical practice here flows out of what Christ has done for us.”
