VVF Ladies Go Home

Hello there. Today was exciting as a bunch of our patients who had successfully had their VVF (Vesico-Vaginal Fistula) repair left the ship for their own villages. Today 8 women were presented with a new dress by Mercy Ships, and we had an opportunity to hear their stories/testemonies and of course sing and dance with them!

Here is Doctor Steve and Doctor Heather with the women on the gangway. The one at the front of the line, Chris had her baby at 14, whilst escaping from liberian rebels. She lost the baby, and has leaked urine constantly since that time. She is now 22, and today is healed! She is a wonderful woman, so positive and such a blessing to all in spite of her circumstances. We have so much to learn from these women about life and God.

It was amazing to hear a story from one woman, who has been leaking urine for 8 years. She had a dream 2 years ago about a house on the water, the house she felt was a church or something similar. Imagine her suprise when she was brought to the Mercy Ships screening by a nurse from her home village in the north of Ghana a hospital on the water. Wonderful stories, and a priviledge to be a part of them.
