Dear Supporters,
Friday, June 5, 2026 was the 13th Annual “Bringing the World Together” Fundraiser Banquet, hosted by Hope Church at 3000 Lenhart Rd.
Wow! What a fantastic evening of celebration of the 30 years of service and the hospital is now 18 years. We’ll like to thank all the volunteers, staff at Hope Church, family and friends and supporters who joined us to give glory to God for his faithfulness. We are closer than ever to reaching our fundraising goal this year.
We shared about the power of one and how your influence matters. Your prayers matter. Sharing your gifts and talents in service to others is where lives are touched, bodies are healed and restored to health. Peoples’ lives are changed forever!We’ve made 47 mission trips to Ghana.
Over 500,000 patient encounters in 18 years is remarkable. So is over 4,700 babies delivered. Over 480 volunteers accompanied us to Ghana, including 65 US medical students and over 100 US doctors visited , taught and provided essential care to those patients.’We are beyond excited to see what the good Lord has in store for our upcoming mission trips to Ghana.

We thank you all for your prayers and support!

On Monday, April 27. 2026, I was invited to speak with students at the UIS Master in Public Health (MPH)
Program. I had a fabulous time presenting about Being a catalyst for change, with the MPH students at University of Illinois at Springfield during Professor Kathy Sgro evening class. Most of them are medical doctors, scientists and bioengineers from around the world. In essence, most are immigrants like myself.

I shared about my journey from Guyana, South America to the United States. I was part of the first MPH graduates from University of Illinois at Springfield, IL. My message focused on three things, 1) Influence 2) Perseverance and 3) How purpose is often revealed through hardship. The students had opportunity to share about their journey. I was in awe of the richness of their educational background and the resilience and determination they demonstrated throughout their journey. We all agreed that adversity can produce purpose. They were very impressed by the IHDN Ministry work we are doing in Ghana and are inspired to go back to their home countries to do something for their people.
I wish them all the best for a bright future is ahead of them!
Sincerely,
