This month we celebrated the 2000th baby born at our clinic! For me, this was another signpost of how God keeps providing for us at Abundant Grace of God. The mother who delivered with us had delivered her other two babies with us as well, so this was an especially joyous occasion. Mother and babyContinue reading “Baby #2000 !!”

A Star Midwife in the Making
It was late one night last week when the clinic got a text asking us to pick up a laboring woman in her village. There was already a woman in labor at our clinic so I asked Gay and Lovely to ride with Achao to bring back the labor. Gay has been with us for overContinue reading “A Star Midwife in the Making”
A Midwife’s Story
The following story is a first-hand account from our Bugnay clinic midwife, Karen Ligab. “It was almost 4:00 in the afternoon and I was talking with Achao (my boss) outside the clinic because he was getting ready to go back to the Tabuk clinic, when I noticed many people carrying someone in a hammock towardsContinue reading “A Midwife’s Story”
Partners
We just finished an exciting week with a medical mission team sent by Samaritan’s Purse Canada. The team, consisting of doctors, nurses, dentists, an opthamologist and various supporting members, reached out to six Butbut resettlement villages around Tabuk.

What a Night!

An Emergency Transport in the Mountains
I just got back yesterday afternoon from a quick trip to the Bugnay clinic. I was taking one of our partners from Samaritan’s Purse to see the clinic there and also to drop off one of the Tabuk supervising midwives to spend a few weeks with the staff in Bugnay. While there, the staff updatedContinue reading “An Emergency Transport in the Mountains”
Celebrate Christmas With Abundant Grace of God
Hi everyone! I came up with a great idea this Christmas. Maybe it’s because I have a hard time thinking of good ideas for Christmas presents, but whatever the reason let me share my idea. When I think of Christmas I often think of Baby Jesus and how his mother delivered him unassisted in aContinue reading “Celebrate Christmas With Abundant Grace of God”
Maboy: One of the reasons I am here!
Maboy is one of my favourite mothers in Kalinga. Every time I see her she has a huge smile on her face and she always asks how I am doing. Since I very first came to Kalinga in 2004 she has welcomed me with open arms to her village of Pakak. Maboy is the motherContinue reading “Maboy: One of the reasons I am here!”
A Night to Remember
Novelyn came to us in her second trimester of pregnancy for prenatal care. She was living about an hour outside of Tabuk at the time but she came faithfully for all her prenatal check-ups. There was something about this strong, determined woman that drew me to her and I took her as my “continuityContinue reading “A Night to Remember”
