Ways To Witness
San Gabriel Doctor Serves in Africa
“Guess what? We're finally
missionaries,” writes John B.
Hoehn, MD, from Mwami Hos-
pital in Zambia, Africa.
This from one who has al-
ready spent four years at Ma-
luti Hospital in Lesotho might
be misunderstood. But, Dr.
Hoehn continues, “DMaluti was
a drastic change from Stateside
practice, but was luxury com-
pared with this.
on commodities In
Zambia are astronomical, 1f
available. New cars are not
available at any price. Most
things are double U.S. prices.
Gasoline is $2.15 per gallon for
cthyl.
“Alwami Hospital is in an old
but lovely location. The build-
ings are overloaded and under-
maintained, with some partly
completed nice new sections.
“Prices
“The overworked young doc-
tor and family met us. The hos-
pital is full of poor, sick black
folk and the young African
students and one RN and
this young doctor are trying
to cope with their needs. They
should have cight RNs and
more doctors and lab techni-
cians as well as electricians and
carpenters and builders.
“There has been a lot of
heartache and discouragement
here, mostly because of not
enough staff. I wish God's peo-
ple could all come and see with
me how important it is that
our missions have an adequate
treasury and an adequate sup-
ply of workers in service.
“I am sure the good folk at
home would place a constant
sacrificial giving to our mis-
sions and many would give a
cood share of their poor, short
lives on earth, if they could only
see the difference between a
hospital like Maluti, fairly well
staffed. well supported by Af-
rican standards, but alive and
clorifying the Lord and reliev-
ing the patient African’s pain
and suffering.
“Contrast that with Mwami,
understaffed, patched up, limp-
ing along, echoing with ({rus-
trations of the poor saints who
came here and battled with all
their strength against Impos-
sible conditions mostly due to
understafling and under-financ-
ing.
“A real valiant young matron
because of her overwork suf-
fored almost fatal malaria and
is being foreed to leave by her
doctors. How she has battled!
55th Anniversary
After these few days here, 1
know why. There is something
precious and good and right. It
could be a lovely, alive, minis-
tering agency for the Lord, vi-
brant with love for the sick
who fill the wards, mighty In
witness and training the Afri-
ans in service to their own
people, if only laborers come
for the Harvest. I'm here at the
Harvest Master's bidding, and
I hope the others whom He
calls will come soon, too.”
Deanne, the doctor's wife,
adds a few notes, “They are
redoing the old house we arc
supposed to be in. It now has
the roof and ceilings off and
looks rather derelict, but 1
cuess it has potential; it's just
hard to see it when things are
pulled apart. This house has
cement floors painted red years
aco, with grey showing In
places. The light switches are
unique strings or cord or
whatever anvone fancied hang-
ing down from pull cords from
the high ceilings. If we want
hot water we go outside and
build a wood fire under the wat-
er tank.”
Jack (from San Gabriel) and
Deanne (Hoiland from Para-
dise, California) are products
of Adventist schools in the Pa-
cific Union and only two of
the many missionary workers
overseas. But Dr. Jack's pres-
ence means the difference be-
tween ability and inability to
see patients at Mwami. And
Deanne’s nursing training may
mean the school of nursing can
continue to function-—especially
if another nurse or two can be
added to the staff.
As you plan for your 13th
Sabbath offering, you who are
able might keep in mind that
people are needed as well as
their money.
And all Recorder readers can
pray for the health and
strength of young and older
workers in these distant lands
with others of God’s children.

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1977
“We appreciate beyond mea-
sure the support we have re-
ceived in the annual offering
this year,” H. DM. S. Richards,
Sr. told Southern’s President
Harold Calkins recently. “But
we know that many people wait
until the end of the year to
make their large gifts. We are
counting on some of these large
donations to take us beyond
last year's offering total of
$600,000. Increased costs mean
we need increased gifts or the
work of The Voice of Prophecy
will suffer.”
Elder Calkins assured Elder

Richards of the continued in-
terest of Southern’'s members
in the outreach of the gospel
via radio. In fact, a completely
new plan of following up radio
interest is currently being dis-
cussed that, hopefully, will be
implemented in the new vear.
“We have to capitalize on this
tremendous outreach,” TIlder
