Images from Goma

Timo Acosta with kids in front of the HEAL Africa chapel.

































Children at Femmes Plus, a ministry to widows, their children and AIDS orphans supported by HEAL Africa . When Ryan Irmer pulled out a soccer ball these kids went nuts!

































Paul Yeager leading a training seminar for doctors, nurses and staff of HEAL Africa about providing pastoral care to patients. That's our friend Pastor Samuel doing the work of translating.











On the right is Stewart Lunanga, another one of our translators, who made it possible for people to understand our sermons, receive our pastoral care and benefit from Ryan's coaching tips on the basketball court. He speaks English, French, Swahili and German. He would like to go to college and study engineering (he's interested in hydroelectric power generation). He is a great guy.











Melissa Ho with women from the Grounds for Hope community. They cheered when SHE got up in front of them to preach a sermon! They passionately worshiped God in the face of great disappointment.






















Here are some children that we met in the pediatrics ward at HEAL Africa.






















Here's the view from the outdoor eating area where we had breakfast and dinner together at the Lusi's home and guest house on Lake Kivu.
