History

Our story is rooted in a simple but powerful calling: to serve others with compassion and faith. As written in Matthew 25:40,
“Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.”
This verse continues to guide every step of our journey.

Our mission began when we were transferred from a hospital setting to a school environment located miles away from the city. Recognizing the struggles of students who could not afford housing, we opened our home to them, providing free board and lodging until they completed their education. What started as a small act of kindness became a life-changing support system for many young individuals pursuing their dreams.

As leaders in a newly established School of Nursing, we also managed the school clinic, which served not only students and employees but also the surrounding community. The clinic offered a wide range of services, including minor surgical procedures, prenatal care, labor and delivery, and general medical care. Each month, we organized free medical clinics, including dental services provided by volunteer dentists. These efforts continued faithfully for five years.

Our journey then took a significant step of faith when we answered the call to missionary work, inspired by Isaiah 6:8:
“Here am I, Lord. Send me.”

For six years, our family served in Malawi, Africa, working at Malamulo Adventist Hospital and its School of Medical Sciences. Beyond our hospital and academic responsibilities, we dedicated ourselves to community outreach. Every month, we visited underserved communities to share meals, distribute clothing to children, and bring hope to those in need. In one village, we helped establish access to clean drinking water, significantly reducing the spread of intestinal diseases. In another, we assisted in building a church, creating a place for faith and fellowship.

When our missionary term concluded, we chose to leave behind most of our personal belongings as donations to the communities we had grown to love. We later migrated to the United States, where we continued our nursing careers after successfully passing the NCLEX and meeting professional requirements.

Even in a new country, our commitment to service never wavered. We continued supporting students in need, helping them pursue and complete their education.

In 2016, this lifelong mission of service was formally established as His Footsteps Foundation LLC, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Texas (EIN: 45-3232445). Through the generosity of friends, partners, and sponsors, we continue to extend our reach, serving communities, empowering individuals, and walking faithfully in the footsteps of service.
