Health

They Walked In Sick.
They Walked Out Carrying Medicine.

In these communities the nearest hospital can be hours away. For most of the people who came, this was their only medical contact of the year.

  • 535 people walked in sick, discouraged, some with conditions they had carried for years, and walked out with free medical care and medication in their hands. The youngest was 5 years old. The oldest was 98. Five generations, one harvest field.
  • 42 medical volunteers gave their time and skill — doctors, nurses, two clinical mental health counselors, and medical students — because they believed this mattered.
  • 10 people needed surgery they could never afford. Every single one was fully funded and completed, in Akwa Ibom and in Abuja.

Faith

136 Souls, Eternally Changed

Across 19 gatherings the gospel was preached plainly and boldly. This is what was recorded.

  • 136 people said yes to Jesus for the first time. Write that number down. 136 souls, eternally changed, because you gave.
  • 73 people rededicated their lives and came back to a faith they had walked away from.
  • 13 documented miracles. Not stories we heard about — things we watched happen.
  • 8 people were baptized in the Holy Ghost, filled with power for the first time.
  • 4 new converts to Christianity, coming out of other belief systems entirely.
  • 2 areas of spiritually contested ground were captured for Jesus.
  • 11 people said yes to pastoring. Eleven new shepherds raised up, because of this trip.

To Everyone Who Sponsored This Trip

None of This Was Me

I want to be clear about something: none of this was me. I was just the vessel God sent.

Every time you assisted my wife with the children. Every dollar. Every prayer you prayed while I was gone. That is what funded surgeries. That is what fed medical teams. That is what put Bibles and medicine into hands that had neither.

One village at a time. That is how we change the world, and you just helped us change sixteen of them.

Where the Partnership Went

What Your Giving Actually Paid For

Ten surgeries

Ten people needed an operation they could never have afforded. Every one was fully funded and completed — in Akwa Ibom and in Abuja.

Medicine and consultations

535 free consultations, with medication placed in the patient's hands before they left. No fees, no paperwork.

Teams in the field

42 medical volunteers fed, moved, and supplied across 16 communities for 21 days, alongside Bibles for the gatherings.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9

You did not give up on this vision. And we are reaping a harvest of souls because of it.

What Comes Next

Please Don't Stop Now

A decision is not the same as a disciple, and a calling is not the same as training. The work that follows a harvest is the work that keeps it.

136

Pray for the new believers

They said yes for the first time. They need discipleship, not just a decision. Keep praying them into a church, a Bible, and a community that will hold them.

11

Pray for the new pastors

Eleven people said yes to shepherding. They need training and covering before they carry a congregation. Pray them through the year ahead.

16

Keep partnering with us

Sixteen communities is where we stopped this August, not where we finish. Your continued giving is what carries the work into the next sixteen.

We Are Just Getting Started

One village at a time. That is how we change the world, and you just helped us change sixteen of them. Stand with us for the next sixteen.
