Mission and Vision

Organizations have a mission statement and Tenwek Hospital has a clear one, "We treat, Jesus heals".  What has impressed me this year is the increasing clarity and reality of visions that will bring another dimension to this place.  The one vision that is clearest for me is that of a residency program in Obstetrics  and Gynecology.  

In previous years, I noted how my vision changes after being here.  It is a blessing to have that experience.  This year, the new visions are here with the leadership at Tenwek and it is a wonderful reality.  

If you were here with us at Tenwek Hospital, you can hear many prayers!  The majority you cannot understand as the prayers are in the primary language of the patient.  It is a wonderful and awe-filled experience.  We are blessed that we can be physically present at this place and can be part of this community.

So what I can do is encourage and support the vision of those here at Tenwek!  What we all can do is pray with Tenwek for the fulfillment of God’s plans for this place.  The request is that you pray with Tenwek.  For those in our church, family and extended faith community; you are present here with your gifts of cows, houses, blankets, knitted baby caps and medical supplies but most of all your prayers.

May God continue to bless Tenwek Hospital,

Miriam & Marvin
