Medical Center Update

Construction is Underway

Healing the sick was a central theme of the ministry of Jesus Christ on Earth, and Vision Africa has always focused on bringing medical care to those in need. This important means of sharing God’s love will be significantly amplified with the introduction of a community medical center in Vision Africa’s ministries.

For many years, Vision Africa’s leadership and supporters in the U.S. and Nigeria have worked to lay the plans and gather the necessary funds to begin the first phase of the Vision Africa Medical Center. The government of Abia State in Nigeria has even gotten into the act, donating a significant parcel of land for the project.

We are thrilled to report that works are under way to clear and prepare the land for construction of Phase 1, Part A: the Medical Residence, for visiting teams of doctors and nurses.

Since we first received capital funds for the Medical Residence, unexpected delays have occurred with this project. This can be common in developing nations, but there is cause for great optimism now that “ground breaking” has taken place. The current preparation works are carried out by local contractors and were made possible by considerable funds raised locally in Nigeria.

With good weather, the project should be complete and operational in a few short months. The good-faith cooperation between Vision Africa supporters in the U.S. and Nigeria sets a fine example for future endeavors of this kind.
