“God loves me very much. My wife has died, my children have died, but I am not dead yet. So, today I have heard the news of the sacrifice that Jesus died for me.”
This man, along with over 60 others suffering the effects of HIV/AIDS, received in home health care kits provided by Baptist Global Response. The kits were distributed by Charlie and members of Samburu Baptist churches. Most of the patients are bed ridden. All are unable to care for themselves and require assistance from family members. As supplies were delivered, instructions were given on how to use the contents. Included are things such as bed sheets, latex gloves, vitamins, soap, nail clippers and others. They were packed in 5 gallon buckets by volunteers in the US.
While church members delivered health care necessities that most of us would not dream of being without, they also took time to share the News of God and to pray. At least three of the patients asked Jesus to be their Savior. All were touched with the love of Christ demonstrated through the hands on ministry of local Baptist believers.
To see how these folks were cared for, please visit the photo album on this page titled, “2010 May Samburu”.
