Wow, I was terrible about keeping you updated in 2014.  Let's pray I do a better job in 2015.  I must start by telling you that 2014 was a very busy and productive year.  None of the accomplishments listed below would have been possible without those of you who have supported this work.  Let me THANK YOU and ask that you please continue to support us.  If you are not currently a supporter, please consider helping us with this work in 2015.

So let me recap 2014 for you in numbers and accomplishments.

Each clinic averages 50-60 patients
On Oct 28, 2014, we decided to incorporate WBS (World Bible School) with the clinics.  Below are the numbers for just two months of WBS.
                          Number of WBS students                   134
                          Number of students baptized                  3

                          Number restored to the church             11
                          Considering baptism                               9

As you can see by this report, health evangelism is working and offers a great way to reach out to the community for the Lord's Kingdom.  We will continue to pray for support for our efforts and for those who still need to be reached.

  1. Miss Cheryl, well done for the good works you are doing. May God bless you for that. Because if I look at the treatment you gave me when I had injury in OAVI. I was amazed, how you took me to Jemima and take care of me till I began to walk and lend me home by your own car. And the next day you came back to my home town again with some medicine, I can see God has choosing you to help we the poor childrens in Africa.
