Hope and healing for the nations through Christ.
That’s our heartbeat and what has sent us on medical journeys to nations like Nigeria, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, and now Chad.
It’s also what drove us to create Guinebor 2 Hospital just outside of N’Djamena, the capital of Chad in Africa. The goal of the hospital is to reach the unreached through medical work. We are serving under Christian Health Service Corps.
Chad is home to approximately 17 million people, but it has only 300 doctors to meet their medical needs.
We’re working alongside the nationals in the hospital in the village of Guinebor II to improve the available medical care of the local population.
The 70-bed hospital in Guinebor 2 offers emergency, surgical, inpatient-medical, pediatric, obstetrics and gynecology, emergency room, physical therapy, Child Development Center, vaccination, X-ray, ultrasound, optic clinic, and laboratory services.
Presently, Bert is the director emeritus.
Debbie, a registered nurse, serves on the Senior Management Team and helps manage the guesthouse.
Our daughter, Heidi, lives in Australia with her husband, Petter, and their three children, Hudson, Sawyer and Mae. Heidi is very involved in their church and Petter is a pastor.
Our son Philippe and his wife, Brenna, live in Hendersonville, North Carolina with their son, Oliver. Philippe is a firefighter and Brenna works as a real estate agent.
Our youngest, Joël, lives in Louisville, Kentucky with his wife, Jenny. He is an Ear Nose and Throat resident and Jenny is a nurse.
