Kijabe Medical Center and Bethany Crippled Children “It is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to give up what he cannot lose” It has been a wonderful privilege to see God working through Bethany Relief and Rehabilitation International (BRRI) to address the physical and spiritual needs of children with disabilities and their families. As you will see, these are exciting times at BRRI. The opening of Bethany Kids at Kijabe Hospital, a 36-bed pediatric unit was just recently completed! We are so grateful and thankful to God for his blessing in allowing donor and other helpers to move forward and complete this project. BRRI has provided many missioners with an opportunity to reach into the villages of Kenya and beyond with the love of Jesus. We are grateful for the vision and commitment of Dr. Richard (Dick) Bransford for paving the way to make this dream a reality. This is the beginning and not the end of a long journey. To minister to the needs of children and their families in East Africa we need your assistance. People, prayer and donations are required to allow BRRI to fulfill the vision and ministry that God has brought to it. The board of volunteers and other missioners is committed to this work within the gifts, skills and resources God has blessed them with. We would invite you to join with us in this exciting adventure for the Kingdom. How can you help?
To begin with, BRRI requires healthcare providers for the future. If you are a physician, occupational therapist or physical therapist, please consider whether God could use your skills in this amazing opportunity and for the period that you feel you would like to put in to help the needy. Further, we need continuous prayer for this ministry. Our goal is that at 1:00 p.m. EST every Sunday, we can pray together, regardless of geographic boundaries. We invite you to join us for a few minutes to remember this work before God. ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it’. According to Oswald Chambers’ devotional resource in ‘My Utmost for His Highest’, the key to the missionary’s difficult task is in the hand of God, and that key is prayer, not work as the word is commonly used today, which often results in the shifting of our focus away from God. We need physical help – we need arms, and legs and minds. But, most of all we need prayer and this is what we ask of you. Finally, BRRI requires your financial assistance. We are committed to making certain that your resources are channeled into the medical and spiritual. People, prayer, and material resources are all needed. Join with us as God may direct you. In advancing his Kingdom,
