Since Agape opened, we have sought to give a Bible or New Testament to each patient on their day of discharge. One of the therapists writes a note in the front and presents it to them along with encouragement to read it.

Save our Souls with Shouts of Praise! Thomas Jefferson knew that no man, no political party, no media pundit, and no tech giant could bring the healing and blessing that King Jesus affords to a nation!

Mountain Musing
The fall colors on West Virginian mountains shouted the Lord’s artistic genius last week. There could not have been a more beautiful time to visit faithful ministry partners and make new friends. While enjoying gorgeous vistas, we remembered some “musings on the mountain” for reflection.
Malnutrition and Recovery in the Canyon
My own heart skipped a beat when I discovered that his dangerously low potassium level (1.7) was causing EKG abnormalities. Sadly, this little boy suffered from Kwashiorkor- a form of protein deficiency malnutrition common in the canyon.
Hydroxychloroquine for COVID19 in resource poor regions
The research does not suggest it is time to abandon chloroquine as a viable therapy for COVID-19, especially in developing countries. It may also be a viable option for prophylaxis to prevent infections of healthcare workers.
Normal is Nice
Who would have thought “normal” could sound so good! This week and last, Ivorians contacted us from Cote d’Ivoire. Some sense a growing return to former norms as the travel ban no longer applies except to and from Abidjan. Thankfully, schools across the nation will soon . . .
Hidden Treasure
