About

Website

This website shares Uriah's adventures as a volunteer Civil Engineer in Africa. He is part of a team of eight volunteer professionals working on the feasibility assessment for a hospital in Burundi. Hope Africa University use the hospital to train medical professionals, and the objective is to improve the 85 bed hospital into a 300 bed hospital with teaching facilities. Engineering Ministries International have selected the team and allocated the resources required to complete the project. For more information on the project, client, or NGO check out the links section of this website.

Vision

I applied to do this internship in Africa because I wanted my consulting career to mean more than a means to an end. 1 Peter 4:10 inspired me to search for more purpose.

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms"

The faith attitude I leave with will hopefully help me to enjoy putting the needs of others before my own, and think of others more highly than myself. There is nothing that I can do better than the next person and there is no reason I should be successful by any measure. 1 Peter 4:11 provoked this somewhat unorthodox desire to be more by being less.

"If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen"
