Help for the Hurting

In 1987 and 1988 my husband Kyle and I lived and worked in a remote part of Africa building a health care clinic. Today, the clinic is helping meet the needs of Kenyans who are desperate for medical care.
Very soon I'll have the privilege of returning to Africa to serve the people of Kenya. I will be ministering primarily to women and children. These women are often victims of female genital mutilation. For the average girl, there is no use of anesthetic or sterilized instruments used in this horrific procedure.
Please pray that our team is able to minister with sensitivity and compassion to these hurting women. Pray that the men of Kenya learn to value and respect their wives and daughters and will no longer tolerate this horrific procedure.
