Real 4 Christ hosts a clinic day in Masai Corner, Kenya

Real 4 Christ Ministries, our mission partner shared their recent experience in Kenya.

On December 23, 2010 we packed our truck with the medical supplies and tools that were donated by Medical Bridges and drove a couple hours into the remote village of Masai Corner located on the coast of Kenya, East Africa. There is no medical clinic or hospital within a 3 hour walk for the people who live at Masai Corner so as we began our clinic set up, I was so thankful to have the blood pressure monitor, stethoscopes, otoscopes, & thermometers to make our clinic day a success. We saw over 70 people that day and many of them received treatments as a result of being able to properly access their conditions. Real 4 Christ Ministries sincerely appreciates you partnering with us to experience making a difference in the lives of the Kenyan people.

God Bless You in the New Year,
Lisa Moore
Missionary Nurse to Kenya, East Africa

Hi, I wanted to share some good news. Our mission partner Trinity Global Development sent a 40 ft container of supplies to their new Community Resource Center in Kenya. The container was recently delivered and the residents could not be happier.
