Dear friends! I have kept you waiting for evidence that this Blog has life. So much has been happening in real life that I haven't even had internet access to update this.
I had six hectic (as normal!) weeks in the US. After one week back in Amachuma, I had to make an emergercy trip back to the US for an illness in the family. It's so good to see my girls and grandbabies so any opportunity for that is welcomed. Tomorrow I turn 60 and all this traveling will take a while to recover from. When I get back to Amachuma (should be May 16), I'll have to update you on the hospital construction. II Chronicles 20 has been a good scripture to review and has been God's voice to me in this time. I once wrote a hymn based on that Bible incident - lets see if I can remember at least one verse to share with you. (goes with the music of "The Son of God goes forth to War").
When faced with overwhelming odds,
and fearing sure defeat;
We must in our alarm resolve,
God's guidance to entreat.
Refrain: "Oh God, our God, we have no strength!"
our cry for help must be. "We know not what we ought to do.
We lift our eyes to Thee".
Stay in touch! Love, Judy
BETHEL FOUNDATION MISSION:
Acknowledging the direction of our Heavenly Father, whose goodness knows no bounds, we seek to provide caring and quality health support for the Aymara people in the Andean highlands of Bolivia.
BETHEL FOUNDATION VISION:
- Judy Yund, founder,
- To construct a level II hospital in the village of Amachuma which will serve that community and others nearby. It will also serve as a center from which to reach out with a mobile clinic to more isolated areas. We plan to provide training and supervised clinical experience to medical students, student nurses, and other auxiliary health personnel in partnership with their educational institutions and the Health Department. Emphasis will be on applying Christian values within the Aymara context so that this population can feel that this is "their" Hospital.
