Moving day

Yesterday we stripped my office. Bundled up all those dusty files. Carted out the desk and computer. Into a tempo and over to the Lok Hospital building.

This morning most of it remains in boxes. Shabby cardboard in the echoing halls of the new Jeevan Sahara Kendra.

Moving day is finally here.

This morning the clinic gets the treatment. Sheba will see patients till 1 PM. In the meantime everything else gets packed. And sent over to Lok. By this evening we want to be unpacked and ready for tomorrow.

At 9 AM tomorrow we will start operating out of the Lok Hospital building. As always we will start with prayer and a time of reflection from the Bible.

Then our teams will visit people with HIV in their homes, and our clinical staff will meet patients at the new premises. If they come that is. It will take some time for our people to reorient to the new JSK. I think we will have empty corridors for some days.

At the same time we will be doing renovations to accomodate a 10 bedded ward. We are still looking for medical and nursing staff to augment our team.

On Saturday we will have our first session of the Training in HIV Care for Church members in our new set-up. There will have to be many arrangements and changes - but we are determined to move forward.

Our feet are touching the waters of the river Jordan. Now to see the waters part... and move forward into the promise.

Moving day.

  1. Great to hear that. Finally the most expected day has come. We were thinking we will be the ones to lend hands to move things but two years later now our juniors are doing it. Praise God. Though things are delayed God does it in his own ways.

  2. We know that moving can be a trial-mostly because stuff goes missing! But new places/work spaces present a fresh new start too. God bless you as you unpack and may your patients find you as always-ready to love and serve them for Jesus.
