Just days after four American relief doctors and nurses were jailed in Zimbabwe, the Leap foundation will soon be touching down in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, to administer medical aid for their second year in a row. Dr. Hobar leads a team of 2 surgeons, 4 anesthesiologists, 2 circulators, 2 scrub techs, 2 PACU nurses, 1 respiratory therapist, 1 photographer, and 2 support aids to "show the love of Christ through their surgical talents." This 16-member team will perform over 50 surgeries in 5 days, targeting children with cleft lip and palette deformities. Though these life-altering surgeries come at a time of uncertainty, they undoubtedly provide a new hope for these children and others in need. Dr. Hobar asks for your prayers, citing the encouragement he and the team receive from the support of their many prayer warriors. So watch these two video blogs of Dr. Hobar, setting the stage for what promises to be a display of Christian love and caring compassion for this beautiful country:
