The hospital administrator is named Pastor Serge. He is a from Gabon and serves with the Gabonese Christian and Missionary Alliance. He is a wonderful man with a wonderful wife and beautiful children. They live here at Bongolo and serve the hospital in many ways.
There is a running joke around here that whenever there is a problem or something needs solved and you go to Pastor Serge, he invariably states "I know a guy..." He knew a guy that helped get the transformer here quickly. It is something to laugh at but in reality, he usually does "know a guy" or at least "knows a guy who knows a guy". You see, Pastor Serge has many connections throughout the country and it has served this hospital well. These connections are not the corrupt political system you sometimes hear about in Africa. Rather, these connections result from a man of integrity and honesty who has built the relationships over the years. It shows in his day-to-day work here at the hospital.
Most of all, he is a man of God, unashamed and confident in his relationship with Jesus. While Serge is a valuable man to have here at Bongolo because he almost always "knows the guy" when something needs solved, he would be the first to tell you the most important "guy he knows" is Jesus and he knows him well. Do you know Him?
John 14:6
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." -Jesus
