Good-Byes

Our time at Hospital Loma de Luz on the north coast of Honduras has, for the foreseeable future, come to an end. In the past few weeks we have said many good byes, packed our home, been able to bless our community by genourously sharing many things we have been able to accumulate over the past few years. We are so greatful for the great work that we have been equipped and enabled to be a part of over the last two and a half years.

Numerically, I had the privelege of:
delivering over 100 babies,
seeing and giving care to more than 2000 clinic patients,
attending over 700 emergencies,
and providing more than 350 patients with inpatient care

A few highlights of our journey:

Many meaningful art projects created and shared.

20+ closed fracture reductions, casted and followed to healing.

My family and I are so blessed and thankful to have had the opportunity to live, work, and minister in Honduras, with an incredible team of doctors, nurses, and support staff, at a wonderful and well resourced hospital in a beautiful and loving community. This has been an immense priveledge.

I will never forget the special priveledge of baptizing a hospitalized patient dying of AIDs, and the solemn work of helping many other families and patients prepare for immenient death spiritually, relationally and medically.

We are so thankful to Samaritan’s Purse and its Post-Residency Program that has made this time possible, and continues to offer us support through our transition.

Please be in prayer for our family as we:
-Prepare for Bethany to give birth to our 5th child at the end of this year.
-Seek to discern God’s next mission for us as a family.

Thank you for following us on this journey to Honduras and back again. We will plan to keep updating our blog as we discern whatever good plans God has in store for us.

Grace & Peace,
Nathan Gilley & family.
