Truck arrives in Ghana at Annie’s Clinic

Praise the Lord that the shipment to Ghana was released from customs and all the money needed to pay for the extra storage and taxes was received! The truck arrived safely at Annie’s Medical Clinic in Namankwan, northeast Ghana, and was unloaded by Pastor Frank Mills and his team of helpers including local school children. Pastor Frank, featured in the photo, needs our prayers as he takes on more responsibility as Nazarene District Superintendent for two districts.

Elsie Konlan is the first graduating nurse who will be working at Annie’s Clinic. For more about Elsie and the nurses’ training program, click here.

The Hands of Hope Northwest shipment contained: Autoclave, wheelchairs, beds, linens, carts, stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, medical instruments, sinks and basins, exam tables, sutures, and scalpel blades.
