Receiving Sight
Yawa (far left) is the cuisine manager at HBB
She was going blind but was unsure why. For some reason her vision was becoming blurry and clouded. Yawa sought out medical help at Hôpital Baptiste Biblique (HBB) for her vision problems. The doctors determined the cause of Yawa’s vision impairment actually had nothing to do with her eyes. Instead, the vision loss was being caused by hypertension. The staff treated Yawa’s hypertension, and in a short time, her vision was restored.

That day Yawa entered HBB’s doors with with more than just a physical vision problem, she also had a spiritual vision problem. Yawa did not yet know the truth about Jesus Christ but, during her visit, a chaplain shared the Gospel with her. Hearing the message of truth which she had not heard before, Yawa accepted it and believed in Jesus Christ. Her spiritual blindness was removed as she received the gift of spiritual sight that accompanies new life in Christ.
After having her physical and spiritual blindness healed, she began working at HBB. Now a growing and faithful Christian, Yawa can be found working as manager of the cuisine at HBB. The cuisine (the French word for kitchen) is a temporary lodging facility for family members and friends of current patients. This housing allows them to cook and do laundry for the loved one receiving care while also providing a sleeping area as they wait on the patient to be discharged.
People come to HBB everyday with injuries and illnesses. Each patient receives medical and spiritual care. Although many are being reached with the Gospel, there is still a great need.
HBB must turn away 50% of their patients everyday .
The reason for this is simple; there is a lack of space and available medical professionals at HBB today. Will you choose to be a part of the solution by helping bring sight to the spiritually blind who are coming to HBB everyday?
