First night of Celebration.

Most of the visitors from the USA were able to arrive in time for the first service on Thursday night. Travel was complicated by the boats not being able to sail on Wednesday but thankfully they were allowed to sail on Thursday.




Thursday night celebration included the following guest speakers: Dr. Marilyn introduced a 25 minute slide show of the first 25 years of service. She also introduced three special men who each spoke a few minutes in Creole about their memories and praises.



Brother Ed was used by God to build the first and third phases of the hospital and his dad oversaw the building of the middle phase.










Brother Merle was a child when the first missionary families moved to LaGonave and realized the need and opportunity for medical work on the island.














Dr. Andy was the first doctor to serve at the hospital on LaGonave.
