History of Mission of Hope

This is the story of how it all began. Cindy had a dream after adopting her children from Bolivia. In her dream God told Cindy to open a hospital in Bolivia. Cindy believes with all of her heart this is because of the devastating results of her son's injury prior to his adoption.

Cindy's son had a nail in his leg that became very infected. After being seen by the medical system in Bolivia his parents were told to go buy antibiotics to treat the infection. His parents were unable to afford the medication so he went untreated as a result he had to have his leg amputated. What a price to pay for being poor. The loss of his leg and his family.

Cindy decided to follow God's plan. She began researching and looking for a building to purchase in Bolivia and spreading her idea to raise money. She found a building for sale but it was 1 million dollars. Cindy had only managed to raise $500,000 guess what the person sold it to Cindy for the $500,000. Cindy was told that she would have to charge at least half of the visit fees to make it work but to this date she has never charged a cent and everything she has needed has been provided, somethimes just in time but never the less it comes. Mission of Hope is supported soley by church sponsors in the United States.

Mission of Hope opened in 2003. They have seen 200,000 patients and have done 1,000 surgeries all free of charge. The clinic has 30 employee, a full time pharmacy and lab. Twice a year the clinic becomes a hospital for the week. In the spring surgery is done by Ear Nose and Throat surgeons and in the fall surgery is done by gynecolology and general surgeons.

There are numerous stories of patients being healed both physically and emotionally. This is just an example of one. There was a mother who had been suffering from uterine prolapse for nine years her husband had left her because he felt she was no longer any good to him. She had to crawl out of bed every day after that and hand wash peoples clothes just to make enought money to feed her children. This women had prayed to God to take her or heal her. She finally made it to Mission of Hope where she was accepted for surgery. Today she is reunited with her husband and her family is together.

Mission of Hope - Bolivia an extension of God's hands and feet through his servant Cindy and her marvelous staff and surgery teams. Praise be to God.
