Help Us Bridge the Gap!

Providing medical care has always been an essential part of our mission to share Christ’s love with those we serve.

Our extensive medical ministry in Kenya includes eight clinics run by local Christian health professionals. These clinics treat tropical diseases, immunize children, and combat HIV/AIDS. The Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health facility addresses the unique health challenges faced by women and infants in the region. Known as Community Health Partners, this ministry now supplies more than 80% of the area’s primary healthcare needs.

In Ivory Coast, our clinic plays a vital role in HIV patient care, serving over 2,500 HIV-positive patients. Recognized as one of the country’s premier programs, the Regional HIV Center provides critical services to 19,000 people living with HIV/AIDS—including 11,000 women and 3,000 children. Since 2016, this clinic has helped reduce regional HIV prevalence from 35% to 3.9%, offering hope and healing to thousands.

For years, these clinics have provided essential medical care to tens of thousands of vulnerable people. However, a sudden freeze in USAID funding has placed these healthcare ministries in crisis.

The Urgent Need

CMF missionary Janeen Newman, who serves at our Ivory Coast clinic, shared, “Our clinic receives somewhere around 90% of its funding from USAID. This money provides for all the activities and personnel related to the HIV/AIDS program, which is the backbone of the work that we do here medically. As it is now, our employees have not yet received their pay for January. As most of our employees truly live paycheck to paycheck, and services to our patients for things such as retroviral medications are in limbo, this is greatly impacting our ministry.”

How You Can Help

Pray! Join us in praying for wisdom, provision, and for the staff and communities affected by this crisis. Pray that they see God’s goodness in this challenging time.

Give. We urgently need partners to help sustain these ministries during this funding gap. Would you consider stepping in to help? A one-time or recurring gift could literally save lives while we await clarity on long-term funding.

• The Ivory Coast clinic needs $6,000 per month for the next three months to sustain essential services. Give to Ivory Coast here.
• The Kenya system of clinics needs $10,000 per month to continue services until USAID funding resumes. Give to Kenya here.

Thank you for partnering with us in God’s work around the world. Your prayers and support make these life-giving ministries possible.
