Projects: PEFA Mercy Medical Clinic, Ndumberi, Kenya

Before	After

Kenya

After Capital Christian Center completed an investigational trip in 2002, a partnership with Capital Christian and the Kenya PEFA church was born to bring medical care to the people of Ndumberi, Kenya. In 2003 and 2004, teams made up of members from Capital Christian Center and Genesis returned to Kenya and served over 2200 people in temporary medical clinics as well as an additional 300 individuals who were ministered to by the Children’s ministries over the two years.

Upon the return from Kenya in 2004 a group of like-mined individuals from across the Treasure Valley with a heart for Africa joined together to form the Kenya Coalition. The dream and desire to establish a permanent medical clinic in Ndumberi for its residents grew out of this coalition – thus plans were drawn up, land was purchased, a well was drilled and the first floor of the clinic was built – with the help of a team from Eagle Nazarene Church by the summer of 2006.

Once the clinic building was finished in 2007, Genesis World Mission worked together with Hands of Hope Northwest to send medical equipment and supplies to equip the clinic and prepare for patients. By summer’s end, Kenyan medical professionals were hired and the PEFA Mercy Medical Center opened its doors.

With the Kenya Coalition’s dream materialized the group officially yielded the planning, development, and fundraising responsibilities to Genesis World Mission.

Today this clinic is still running six days a week, serving as many as 100 patients a day, and has expanded to also provide dental services. The clinic has heard many testimonies from their patients of the kind, professional, and affordable medical treatment they are receiving. The PEFA Mercy Medical Center is the “Good Samaritan” for the underserved in Ndumberi, Kenya.
