About This Project

My ministry is centered on following Christ through service alongside the staff of Kisiizi Hospital in southwestern Uganda, offering medical care and the hope of the Gospel within the surrounding community.

Kisiizi Hospital is a rural mission hospital serving patients who often travel long distances to access care. My role is to support the work already taking place through hands-on nursing care for children, newborns, and adults on the medical wards. This includes monitoring vital signs, assisting with emergency and routine care, supporting feeding and nutrition for vulnerable patients, providing wound care, assisting with nursing student training, and walking alongside families as they navigate illness and recovery. Much of the work is both practical and relational—caring for patients while also offering presence, prayer, and encouragement.

Beyond the bedside, I participate in the broader life of the hospital by supporting community and nutrition initiatives, contributing to hospital communications, and joining in staff fellowship and Bible study. These spaces often create natural opportunities for encouragement and for sharing the hope of the Gospel in the midst of daily work.

Like many rural hospitals, Kisiizi faces challenges related to limited resources and access to care. Patients often arrive late in the course of illness, and staff carry significant responsibility in responding to complex needs with what is available. Preparing for long-term service also involves practical challenges, including licensing, travel, medical supplies, and the need for sustainable support.

These challenges are met through partnership. My role is to come alongside the work already being done, learning from local staff and contributing where needed.

This ministry is sustained through prayer and financial partnership. Prayer for wisdom, strength, and perseverance is deeply valued, as is support that allows for continued service and contributions to hospital needs. This is shared work, carried forward by many people choosing to participate in what God is doing at Kisiizi Hospital.
