MASHOKO NURSING SCHOOL
“Jesus said, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest , therefore, to send out workers into the harvest field.'” Matthew 9: 37-38 (NIV)
This is what we are facing with Dr.Bungu's medical ministry at Mashoko Christian Hospital in Zimbabwe.
"Two hundred to three hundred people come to Mashoko's Out Patient Department (OPD) everyday to have their illnesses and pain relieved. We preach to them before attending to their physical needs. We hardly have to go out in the villages to look for people to preach to. Instead , they come to us. This is unique to a medical ministry. Also, people who are ill and in pain are people who have failed to solve their problems and are ready to accept that there is someone more powerful than they or their ancestors . Most of these people would have visited the n’angas (witch doctors) without relief. "They are more than ready to receive the gospel- BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW!” ...Dr. Zindoga Bungu, President, As He Is-Zimbabwe
Phase II of Mashoko's Nursing School is now completed. Mashoko's School of Nursing is coed. An additional dormitory has been added to house the students separately. This was done in order to comply with Zimbabwe regulation. The benefits will be immediate because the students will become another pair of hands for the hospitals and clincs.
BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW! And we need your help!
“This is exactly what we are facing at Mashoko Christian Hospital . It is a national problem even though we may have are own inside problems. Nurses are being attracted to greener pastures :England, Private Doctors' offices, Government Hospitals, and private hospitals. We have never lost nurses to other mission hospitals. We need more nurses at Mashoko Christian Hospital in order to win more people to Christ. This is what we are also looking for. We will be graduating two to three groups of students . Some will be bonded for three years and will not be given clearance letters to go to the green pastures until they serve for three years. This will give us stability in staffing. We will give better service than the witch doctors. We will be able to show God's compassion , mercy, and power." ....Dr. Bungu
With your help they will PREACH THE GOOD NEWS . WE WILL SERVE THE PEOPLE PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY."
