The Buckets of Blessings were distributed to families of people living with disabilities, the extreme poor living in the slums and marginalized communities in the rural areas of Kenya. CMA targeted 2,500 families but many more came for food due to the current hunger.

Thank you so much for making a real difference in the lives of over 13,000 people who received the much needed food through the Buckets of Blessings food distributions.

Before Robi Wekenge received Christ, the mere mention of her name, the dreaded and menacing female circumciser, would send chills down the spines of her would be victims. The fear must have been occasioned by her ruthlessness. Just like all the female circumcisers, she was definitely heartless, unperturbed by the screams of the innocent children crying for mercy. Overtime, her heart transformed into some kind of a stone. This cold-heartedness was displayed during the many mutilation processes she had carried out in the course of her infamous and criminal career.

However, all these changed one day when Rebecca Mbusiro, a CMA trainee ventured out to engage her with the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ. That day, everything changed. Robi accepted Jesus Christ. Today, Robi Wekenge is a new creation! All the old gruesome things she did have passed!

Robi is now looking forward to a new adventure in her new found life in Jesus Christ! Maybe, one day, she will join the next CMA leadership training seminars to be equipped for Christian Ministry and be Christ’s ambassador among her former colleagues! Who knows? What a testimony that would be! This is one of the heart-warming stories of what God is doing through the CMA’s leadership training seminars.

Glory be to God!

It is difficult to fathom how people survive in such a hostile environment. The dry and barren land with only scattered shrubs land seems to demonstrate it all. This is a harsh place! Driving for hours on hot dusty roads we finally reached the community of Mosiro. The residents of Mosiro are settled far into the interior of Maasailand, isolated from the rest of the world, living on the only source of livelihood they know, cattle and goats. Unfortunately, the severe draught has taken away their only source of food as their livestock have perished.
“I had over 100 cows which have all died, I have only two remaining,” one of the local residents sadly said.
The residents will sell a cow or a goat and use the funds to purchase food and other essential needs. But now with their source of income gone, many residents go days without food.
“I have had many difficulties helping the people get some food,” Chief Simon Kesheako said. “I felt helpless when a woman came to me and said she and her children had not eaten anything for four days.” She had already sold her last goat.
You were an answer to the prayers of the residents in Mosiro. Through your generous support they have received lifesaving food. Being so over-joyed when they saw the truck full of food arriving and coming to their rescue, they broke into song and dance. Over 300 people arrived in hopes of getting something to eat!

In 2019, we facilitated the much needed medical care – providing both inpatient and outpatient services through its many Primary Health Care Clinics and Health Care Units throughout the remote and underdeveloped Counties of Fangak and Nyirol. More than 35,000 children were immunized while over 13,000 were treated for malnutrition. About 6,000 women received ante-natal care and over 4,000 eye patients were treated. In total, over 227,000 people were reached with primary health care.

When the nation of Israel had gone astray and had forgotten about God, Ezra “read the scriptures aloud … in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law” (Nehemiah 8:3). In the end, there was such deep conviction and a turning point back to the Lord in response to the message of the scriptures. Such is the power of the spoken Word of God!
Many people in rural Africa are illiterate and rely on other people to read God’s word for them. This is compounded by the fact that Bibles are very few and often in a language they cannot understand. The dedicated pastors do their best to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with them but this is never adequate. These are mostly nomadic communities in Turkana, Pokot and Maaasailand, scattered over vast lands with rough terrain and hostile weather. This greatly limits the reaches of the pastors.
Christian Mission Aid intervenes by providing audio Bibles—solar-powered devices with vernacular recordings of the scriptures—making it possible for illiterate people to directly hear the life-changing Word of God in their own languages. The gadget is highly portable and the fact that its solar-powered makes it self-sustaning. The pastor can carry it with him and reach out to the people wherever they are be it the market places, pastures, schools, churches or even on the road. It is a peculiarity that attracts a lot of attention from the local people, thereby offering an opportunity to hear the Word of God.
