stranger in a strange land

After much debate with the mission agency and the church board, I
managed to get off to help up here at Chitokoloki. Perhaps more
beautiful than Mukinge (don't tell her I said that) it's a good
experience to see a different take on how a mission hospital could be
run. It's a very different approach to mission here; more focused on
outside help and working in spite of the government system as opposed to
our approach at Mukinge, to try to work within the system and build it
up. Both viewpoints have their advantages and disadvantages, I think.
But anyway, it will be a stretch as we try to push our way through some
cases and help take care of a few people.
