Dr. John's seemingly impossible vision of Diospi-Suyana, a world-class hospital for impoverished Peruvians deep in the Andes Mountains, was blessed by God to the end. Despite challenges in fund-raising, construcion, moving his family from Germany, and countless roadblocks, Klaus's dream was finally realized, bringing hope in a land loved by God."--Page 4 of cover.
