We have an incredible partnership with a Kenya University who deploy medical professionals that we are privileged alongside in meeting the health needs of thousands who live in small villages. This trip is intended for medical professionals and those who may not have a medical past but have a heart to help address the needs of those who live in difficult circumstances. The team will hand carry medical supplies, equipment and clothing, distribute those items at the appointed time while providing free exams, dental care and distributing medications. While many Kenyans will be served through the hands of a doctor, we desire to introduce them to the great physician who heals both in the present and future. There is a need for Pastors, evangelists, lay people, doctors, dentists, nurses and people who care. Answer to Prayer Kenya remains a regional and continental hub for Christian mission, theological education and church ministry. The troubles in the region make this reality all the more strategic. Challenge for Prayer Kenya’s long-term stability cannot be taken for granted. Droughts in the north caused the deaths of 80% of the livestock, and the decrease of pasturelands causes violent clashes among various ethnic groups claiming the resources. Fragile ecosystems, overdue land reform, widening gaps between rich and poor, increasingly scarce water, rapidly expanding urban slums and burgeoning populations of street children/AIDS orphans all point to future tensions. Many of these issues were components of the ethnic violence and political crisis of 2007-08. Pray for peace, for wise governance and for practical solutions that can be implemented effectively.
