A Wonderful Read

The story of Dr. Ernie Steury and his family touched my heart. To see how God worked in their lives to bring them to Tenwek Hospital in Bomet, Kenya was most inspiring. He worked with so little upon arrival and God used him to bring in medical equipment and supplies, to establish a safe water supply for the hospital, to build a hydroelectric plant there, to greatly enlarge the hospital and the Tenwek campus, and to touch the lives of so many kenyas, both for better health and for spiritual well being over a 50 year period. Our son and his wife are presently working in this hospital. Having visited for three weeks in March, it was wonderful to read about all the things I had seen there. Don't miss his amazing biography.

Christian commitment dedicated to the eternal destiny of others

A Miracle at Tenwek reveals what Christ will do through the total commitment of individuals to His cause! This real life story brought tears of joy to my heart as I read of the positive eternal impact upon thousands from the unselfish commitment of the life of this doctor and his wife. Don't miss out on the blessings and challenges from the details presented in this true story!

God is still in the Miracle business

As I read this book and recognized names of people I have met, I cried as I saw how God used ordinary people who were willing to give of their time and finances. For me, this was like a walk through WGM's "Hall of Fame". God is able if we are willing to step out of ourselves to do God's work - one mission trip and a time. Reach out to your neighbor, wherever you see a need.

Missionary Medicine in Africa

Simply stated, this is the best story of missionary medicine I have ever read. Having spent two years in missionary medicine,in Africa, my wife and I enjoyed immensely reading the story of Ernie Steury. We had experienced a small amount of what is told in this book, and the story recalled our experiences.

Faith Inspiring, and Inspirational

The story of Ernie and Sue Steury and the further development of Tenwek medical facility in Kenya Africa is nothing short of a look into God's hand and heart. As young Ernie Steury, gives up a Naval career, not quite knowing why and then becomes a medical missionary in Africa, God works miracle after miracle. If you are discouraged, are weary, and need to be reminded to "draw near to Jesus" this book is for you. My heart crys out "Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord let the earth hear His voice, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, let the people rejoice. O, come to the Father through Jesus the Son, and give Him the glory great things he has done." Buy this book, read and reread....
