Love mercy Surgery Highlight -Medical Outreach

This time, we achieved a remarkable and far-reaching impact on the community. Over 3,600 individuals visited the outreach and were attended to by our dedicated medical team, which provided essential healthcare services. In addition to those who initially came, more than 100 people returned the following day, mistakenly believing that the outreach was still ongoing. This demonstrates the trust and hope the community placed in our efforts.

We are grateful to report that 658 individuals made commitments to change their lives through the outreach, and among them, 82 have begun attending the two nearby Eternal Word churches regularly. The outreach also drew people from neighboring townships, seeking medical treatment and healing. To date, the team is aware of 103 individuals who experienced healing during the outreach, which has greatly boosted the community’s morale and trust in the outreach program.

The pastors' lunch and training session was a tremendous success, despite coinciding with a major city-wide event called Love Zimbabwe. This gathering provided an excellent platform for spiritual encouragement, motivation, and empowerment for the pastors and ministry leaders. The impact was profound, leaving attendees inspired to serve their communities more effectively. Following this impactful meeting, the pastors organized a fellowship lunch to build stronger relationships, foster collaboration, and deepen their understanding of each other's ministries. These regular meetings now occur every three weeks, during which they pray together and share updates about their work.

Furthermore, the pastors are actively inviting each other to preach and minister at their respective churches, breaking down traditional barriers and fostering a spirit of unity and cooperation. This newfound camaraderie and mutual support are helping to strengthen the overall church community, making their combined efforts more impactful.

Finally, we have included the list of medications received during the outreach, which played a vital role in addressing health needs and providing immediate relief to many community members. The comprehensive care and spiritual support offered during this outreach have left a lasting impression, encouraging continued engagement and growth within the community.

Below is the list of medications received.

1. Paracetamol 500mg ×3tins

Buhera Highlight

Our recent outreach to Buhera was a powerful and impactful event that brought hope and transformation to a rural community. Over 200 adults and 250 children gathered eagerly for the Gospel, fellowship in the Lord, and much-needed psychosocial support. In a setting where vulnerable people often face numerous challenges, this outreach provided a safe space for spiritual renewal, emotional healing, and community bonding.

The event featured vibrant gospel singing, heartfelt sermons, and messages of hope that resonated deeply with everyone present. Many attendees expressed renewed faith and a sense of belonging, which is vital in a community facing hardships. In addition to spiritual nourishment, the outreach included psychosocial support sessions, where individuals shared their struggles and received encouragement, counselling, and practical advice. This holistic approach helped address both the spiritual and emotional needs of the community.

A key highlight was the provision of hot meals, which brought relief and joy to the participants, many of whom had limited access to nutritious food. Sharing a warm meal together fostered unity and strengthened relationships within the community, breaking down barriers and building a sense of solidarity.

The impact of this outreach was profound. It not only offered immediate relief and spiritual encouragement but also inspired hope for a better future. Many community members expressed gratitude and a desire to stay connected with the church and support each other. The event also sparked a renewed sense of purpose among local leaders and volunteers, who are now motivated to continue serving and uplifting their community.

Overall, the Buhera outreach demonstrated the transformative power of the Gospel combined with practical support, bringing light to a rural area and igniting a lasting sense of hope and resilience among its vulnerable people.
