New desk for Paul, new BBQ Grill for the Americans….

The team enjoyed nightly visits to the community, praying for the sick and sharing about Jesus.  This was well received and influenced the high attendance for the Jesus Film showing.

Praising God!

 

 

Trip 16, Update 6, SOH Home

 

The team has been at the Stream of Hope Home this week and have been doing well.  Ed and Geri will be traveling back to the US tomorrow and Sandi back to Kenya for a few more weeks.  Nightly community walks and evangelism visits lead to a standing room only crowd to see the Jesus Film in Lugandan last night, shown in the SOH dining hall.  Greg reported that one woman was so happy that they visited and spoke to her about Jesus that she gave them 3 chickens for egg laying.  Please pray for travel mercy and for the community to be open.

Here are some photos of the open air shelter, new basketball court, and kids.

Trip 16, Update 4, Eyeglasses and Projects

Today was Reading Glass ministry day.  The team organized a way to fit 242 people with the proper strength reading glasses.  It is such an easy way to make a big impact on people….restoring their ability to read for just $1 and some time.  Most of these glasses were donated by the kind people at RestoringVision.org

Emanual Emusolo.  Age 56.  I am a teacher.  These glasses will help me a great deal in teaching and studying.  I have a hard time reading in dim light.  I like to read my Bible and this will be a big help.

 

Eldon, Tony, Ed and their helpers completed a project to run water to the LSA school for drinking and hand washing.  A drinking fountain was made.  Tables and cabinets for the school as well.

And some cool chairs by Eldon and Phyllis Yoder.

Trip 16, Update 3, LSH

Day 3 of the Liavo Medical Mission Clinic was completed with the largest number of people served yet, 330.  The 3 day totals are 660 patients seen, 156 cases of Malaria treated, 55 tooth extractions, and the rest of the people were seen with Pneumonia and other general ailments.  The project took 5 paid Kenyan medical professionals, 15 volunteers from the local church, a large amount of medicine and tests, some brought from the US and some purchased in Kenya, planning by MSM’s Tony Yoder and LSH’s Dr. Ben, the MSM team on the ground, and only roughly $4,000 to bless and relieve pain in over 600 people.  Praise God!

Tony and pastor Ken of the Liavo Bible church are sharing with the church volunteers the significance of how they joined in with Jesus’ work, loving and caring for the needy and suffering….the Gospel in action.  This helps the church be relevant to the community when they next share the good news of God’s plan of love and redemption.

 

 

Concurrently many of the team have been presenting a Bible program to the 130 students at the Lord’s Servants Academy on the Armor of God.  They are using puppets, crafts, and skits and everyone is really enjoying it.

Trip 16, Kenya and Uganda, Update 2, Medical Outreach for Liavo

Today was day 1 of a planned 3 day medical outreach for the Liavo community that surrounds the Lord’s Servants Home (LSH) orphanage.  15 members of the Liavo Bible Church (LBC) volunteered and 2 local doctors joined our Dr. Ben in serving.  Screening for Malaria and other illnesses were performed on 130 people.  Medicine and encouragement was provided, much of it brought from the US and the rest locally.  A larger number is expected tomorrow and Wednesday.  We will fit and distribute reading glasses on Thursday.  We hope to show the community that we care about them… as evidence that God does also.
