Kibera

Today we went to the Tumaini Clinic in the Kibera
slum. Kibera is the largest slum in Africa, with over
1 million people. It was amazing to see what God can
do in the midst of so much poverty. We met a woman
named Ann who was once a prostitute and possessed by
demons. However, after visiting the church held in
the clinic on Sundays, she became a Christian. Now
she runs the nutrition center at the clinic, assisting
mothers to ensure their children are not malnourished.

After lunch, we did some house visits, and we were met
by a chorus of children yelling "How are you!"
everywhere we went. The homes we entered had dirt
floors and tin roofs, yet many of the people we met
were very grateful for all God had done for them. It
was hard to find the proper words as we prayed for
these individuals. Yet, we are confident that God is
at work in the lives of the people of Kibera. Our
prayer is that he would be sufficient for them in the
midst of their poverty, and that he would transform
the culture of poverty so that all would have enough
to eat and proper medical care.
