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.

Trip #16, Kenya and Uganda, Update 1

Our Kenya team is all on site. Most of them took a wildlife tour on the way to the orphanage. They are all at the LSH orphanage now, enjoying being with the kids, beginning their projects, and preparing for a 3 day medical mission outreach to the community beginning Monday.

Amie, our Canadian Mountie, organized and supervised the construction of a new bridge over a muddy creek and repair of 2 other bridges. These bridges serve the community by allowing foot traffic easily to the LSA school and to the fresh water supply the LSH offers the community. Several community men participated in the effort. We firmly believe that people won’t care about what you want to tell them until they see what you care about. The bridge work and up coming medical outreach may help someone hear and believe the good news of the Gospel this week.

Our Ugandan team was to leave Charlotte, NC today but all flights have been cancelled due to winter storm Jonas. They are rescheduled to depart on Monday.

Watch for future updates.

Trip #16 to Kenya and Uganda today.

A large team of 13 people including a Royal Canadian Mounted Policewoman, a couple from Iowa, and several from Charlotte, NC will meet first at the Lord’s Servants Home in Kenya and then Stream of Hope Home in Uganda. This is Mission Servants Ministry’s largest and one of the most ambitious trips yet.

Half of the team will be focused on LSH and will host a 3 day Medical Clinic at the new LSA school building to serve an expected 500+ people from the community. They also plan to build a bridge for the community over a muddy place on a main path, run water to the school, several smaller projects, and deliver a multi session Bible and craft class to the entire population of the LSA school, 120+ kids.

The team at SOH in Uganda will finish and open the new kitchen, build a playground shelter, install a generator to the well to improve water supply, and many smaller projects and activities for the kids.

The total trip will span the next 3 weeks except for one team member who will remain and serve for another month. We will be bringing updates. Please join us in praying for these people for safety, health, guidance, and opportunities to share Christ’s love.
