I know this may not look, at first glance, like a major transformation, but this is Thierno. Thierno can now breath and speak, which are things that he was incapable of when I first saw him at screening back in September. Even more than that is the transformation I see in his eyes. If you go back to my original post you will see a man without hope but here is see a man who can now bring hope to others. Being new to Mercy Ships, I didn't even realize what was possible.
Thierno recently came to our community meeting to thank the crew for his surgery. A nurse introduced him by saying that "transformed people transform nations." I have come to believe that this is the Gospel. Jesus came to transform people to transform the nations. What is now possible for this man when just a few months ago survival seemed impossible.
