Community Outreach Program
Why
Outreach
Our ministry has started a community outreach program in Kitale. We have felt led to help as many children in the community who have disabilities as we can. The children in our outreach program qualify for our services if their families are able to provide for many of their basic needs but may need a bit of help when providing for their medical needs. These families often continue to struggle to provide quality medical care for their children, so our ministry will help fill the gap and meet their needs as best as we can (i.e. therapy, any necessary surgeries, routine wellness visits, etc.). As our ministry is still growing, we will serve one child at a time as the Lord leads and guides us. Prayerfully, we will have the opportunity to lay a foundation of truth in the lives of these families- rooted in the overwhelming, unconditional love of our Father.
Community Outreach Children
Jacob
Jacob is 9 and celebrates his birthday on August 7. He has sickle cell anemia. When he came into our program in the summer of 2021, he was extremely malnourished and very, very sick. He has been receiving ongoing supplements and medications to strengthen his little body, and he also receives daily medicines to aid in his sickle cell anemia. Will you join us in prayer and support of our precious Jacob?
Delion
Delion, 4, has cerebral palsy and is non-verbal. In addition, he has respiratory difficulties and scoliosis. He lives with a single mother and his maternal grandparents. His father abandoned them, due to his disability. Delion receives medical support and therapy. Please join us in praying for sweet Delion and his family and all that God has planned for them.
Raymond
Raymond, 4, has cerebral palsy. Raymond is a twin; his twin sibling is a typically developing child. He is raised by a single mother, as the father abandoned them when Raymond began to show signs of a disability. Raymond and his mother live with the maternal grandparents, where they are also caring for an ailing grandfather. Raymond’s mother does casual jobs (i.e. farming in the fields, washing clothes, etc.) to try to make ends meet for her family. Raymond received medical care and therpay. Please join us in praying for sweet Raymond and his family and all that God has planned for them.
Magdalene
Magdalene has a physical disability. She has hemiplegia affecting the left side of her body. Her disability developed following meningitis. She receives medical care and therapy. This family lives quite far from town, so access to resources is also quite difficult for the family. Please join us in praying for sweet Magdalene and her family and all that God has planned for them.
Michael
Michael is 9 years old and has nerve damage affecting one of his arms. He lives with his mama and siblings, and the family struggles to provide the therapy and medical care he needs to continue growing and thriving.
Mama Michael is a single mother raising two children, including Michael and his younger sister. To help make ends meet, she takes on casual work such as selling sweets, peanuts, and other small items on the streets. Despite her hard work, the family continues to face significant financial challenges.
This mama would benefit greatly from Christian counseling, encouragement in self-worth and confidence, and support in parenthood. She also needs guidance and practical strategies to help build long-term economic sustainability through small business and income-generating skills.
