Jeevan Sahara Kendra is at a cross-roads. Well, lets put it this way, we have a set of cross-roads coming up 4 months down the line - but all the decisions about them have to be made now. Sort of like turning a ship - you need a good 1.5 kms to turn the largest behemoths - which means decisions on turning need to be made well out at see.
Our cross roads is the exciting opportunity we have to shift to the current Lok Hospital building. This means a lot more space for us - and opens up realistic possibilities for focussed in-patient care.
This weekend Dr. Manoj Jacob (who is with EMFI) and Bobby Zachariah (till recently heading up the Salvation Army's HIV work in India) spent time with a core group from JSK, talking through the options. The upshot was the decision to move forward with starting a Community Care Centre - a place where people with HIV can be treated when they are quite sick.
And so into the wild blue beyond! We very much know our limitations - especially staff-wise, but we also know that we need to seize the moment, trust God, and move forward.
Sounds like some exciting possibilities.
