A year ago, I had never heard of Egbe, Nigeria, or ECWA Hospital Egbe. It was a Sunday afternoon in August when I got an email from Samaritan's Purse asking for volunteers for medical mission trips. I took a step into the unknown and filled out an application to anywhere God wanted to send [...]
God moments. That’s how my high school youth group would describe ways we saw God work while on mission trips during our debriefs. I saw many God moments on my trip to Egbe, Nigeria, and here are just a few: One day I got to go out with two missionaries and another nurse to [...]
This year, at least 20,000 people will walk through the doors of Egbe Hospital along with the 400 students that are on the campus of the ECWA College of Nursing and Midwifery. Many of these people do not know Christ in a personal way, making the hospital and school an incredible opportunity to share [...]
My husband and I joined the team going to Egbe Hospital in May 2022. I am a registered nurse, and my husband is a Refuge manager. Neither one of us knew quite what to expect or what would be expected of us, but we were willing and eager to assist wherever we could! My [...]

Before I left to volunteer at ECWA Hospital Egbe in Nigeria, I was told that I was really going to love the people that I met while there. Over the following weeks, I learned how true that statement was. When going on medical missions, we often have an idea in our minds of all [...]
Serving as a volunteer in short-term medical mission work has been a long-term goal for me. I finally had an opportunity to serve as a volunteer through Samaritan's Purse World Medical Missions at ECWA Egbe Medical Mission in Nigeria. My medical specialty is in the clinical laboratory as a Medical Laboratory Technologist. My primary [...]
On May 31, 2022, Mrs. Esther (Helser) Campion, our mother, retired SIM missionary, and co-founder of Egbe Hospital in Egbe, Nigeria, went to be with the Lord at age 97 – after 72 years of marriage and just five short months after the death of her husband and our father, Dr. George Campion.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to financial concerns and slowed educational efforts on HIV and AIDS for Spring of Life Counselling Centre in Egbe, Nigeria. Spring of Life began in 2007 through SIM to address holistically HIV and AIDS-related issues and relies on donations.
