ELWA Hospital

EMAUSA’s recent financial gift to ELWA Hospital will, according to Jason Troxell, 
CEO – ELWA Medical Center,  “go a long way to proving supplies and care for patients suffering from COVID-19 in Liberia.”  
 
EMAUSA looks forward to partnering with ELWA Hospital to promote evangelism and discipleship of both patients and staff.  
 
Currently, there are three Chaplains at ELWA Hospital: three paid, one volunteer. They conduct daily chapel teaching and worship services.  They pray with patients individually offering counseling when needed.  The Chaplains also pray over, counsel, and disciple staff members.

The Jesus Film is shown daily along with a Gospel presentation on the 10 monitors in the OPD area.  Many patients have made the decision to follow Jesus as the result of this film.

Visitors who gather at the hospital before opening are invited to participate in Bible teaching provided by HCF (Healthcare Christian Fellowship), a ministry started by ELWA Hospital staff.  HCF members also visit patients providing Bible teaching to them and their families.

Mr. Troxell would like to provide more encouragement and spiritual training for ELWA Hospital staff including one-on-one discipleship and small group Bible studies.

“I think its easy to underestimate the darkness in Liberia. There are a lot of “churches” but still the country is very dark spiritually…”  says Mr. Troxell.
