Edwin's Story

The young man's name is Edwin and he is 21.  Recently,  Missions of Hope has helped Edwin to have a Bone Marrow Aspiration test done at the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu, Kenya.

The medical report says that Edwin has a massive hepatosplenomegaly and is recommended to have a peripheral smear for conclusive opinion of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. This is a serious condition and he needs help for further diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Most Kenyan families cannot cannot afford the cost of medical testing and treatment. Edwin's mama has already sold almost everything they own to get her son the help he needs.

We pray for someone who could help Edwin and his family to continue getting the medical help he needs for a final diagnosis and to get medical treatment as soon as possible.  The more people who know about Edwin, the better chance there is that he will get the help he needs. 

We are asking if you would share this story as widely as you can.  If you look at the bottom of this post you will find share buttons. It is very easy to share this story on Facebook and Twitter or via email with your friends.  You can even write a post about Edwin for your own blog and share it with your friends.

If you can help this boy directly with your finances, please let us know or simply send your gift to kerichojoy[at]gmail[com] via Pay Pal. We also value your prayers.

Thank you so much!

 

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 29, 2012

I will be taking Edwin to the doctor tomorrow (Thursday) to discuss his preliminary test results and next steps. Please keep us in your prayers for the miracle we need for his treatment and healing. 

God bless.

Evangelizing the Youth in Bomet, Kenya

Hello,

This morning we travelled to a place very near to Bomet to do a sports crusade. 

We had earlier prepared for soccer balls (courtesy of our friend from Uganda) and trophies from far and wide.

We planned the event for about 2 months and we are glad to see a big, big success in this project. 

Tonight we are having a 'cinema' and tomorrow morning we will have church. Then later in the afternoon, we will have the finals of the soccer team and volleyball games. 

This event drew many young people who would rather have been spending their weekends in not so productive ways if we did not host a sports event. This ministry drew close to a thousand young people who turned up. What a blessing!

Continue to pray for us as we expect miracles; especially salvation to those who are not already saved.


God bless
