Tsunami Archive - New Life Foundation Projects - Phuket International Hospital
Many of the members of Phuket Christian Centre worked closely with the
hospital during the week immediately following the tsunami. The hospital
was overwhelmed by injured survivors and so many people were accommodated
at the church. Daily transportation to the hospital was provided for
wounds to be cleaned and dressed. Church members also helped relatives
search for missing loved ones on the hospital database, and visited the
injured on the wards. Pastor Brian was involved in organising a memorial
service at the hospital to help survivors begin the grieving process and
to offer words of hope.
Pastor Brian addresses patients, hospital staff and volunteers at the
Memorial Service, in front of the world press. Pastor Nok translates his
words into Thai.
In-patients come down from the wards to attend the service in memory of loved ones lost.
