Dr. Madrid (center) and family
Mission Accomplished
My church supports several international missions, but the most impressive is Predisan in Honduras. Predisan was founded [by Dr. Robert Clark and his wife Doris, who is Director (thank you annonymous commenter)] and is run by Dr. Amanda Madrid, the most impressive person I have ever had the privilege of meeting. She is an M.D. and a Phd. She is poised, humourous, compassionate and determined. From a small dream, she has built the largest hospital in Honduras. Patients come from the mountains, the poorest of the poor, and recieve medical care, nutrition, help with addictions and, most importantly, spiritual care. Predisan helped 30,000 people in the last year!!!
Dr. Madrid takes people into her own home when they need extra care. She adopted 3 children of a terminal patient and has become a role model to her children. Indeed, she is a role model to us all....an inspiration to forge ahead and get the work done. She has had many opportunity to make excuses, but she never stops. I am in awe of her.

You are close on this one, Predisan was founded by Dr. Robert Clark and his wife Doris. Amanda was recruted by them several years after they arrived in Catacamus from Atlanta to help start the medical Clinic. Dr. Clarck died several years ago but his wife Doris continues to be the Director of Predisan Honduras.
It is truely amazing to see how God had worked through his people in Honduars, Amanda had been invited to speeak around the world on the success of predisan by many governments trying to replicate their success. The first thing she says is they have to get our of Gods way if they want to succeed.
Oops.
I suppose that is one reason the Bible says, "Lean not on your own understanding."
Thank you!
