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

Mission to Zambia

Hey! Last week we supplied a hand-carried mission to Zambia. The mission group was from Northrise University Initiative which is an organization dedicated to providing financial, medical, and other assistance to the people of Zambia. The supplies were mostly for pediatric care and were sent to the Arthur Davidson Children's Hospital in Ndola, Zambia. The group was amazed at how much they were able to bring with them. The supplies arrived safely and are already being used.

A photo of the group with some of the supplies they brought was given to us, and here it is:
