Huiothesis: MEDICINES

Huiothesis

Huiothesis is a term from the original language in which the New Testament was written (Greek). It is most commonly interpreted "adoption," but specifically refers to the placement of an adult child in a position of authority or partnership. This site is dedicated to all those who are ready to put off the clothing of a child and to put on the clothing of manhood; the "toga virilis." We must have men and women in this generation who are not swayed by the spectacular, but firmly rooted and grounded in the Word of God; mature disciples who are not distracted by things that tingle and glitter, but who are sober and vigilant in a world in which there is much to turn our eyes from the goal to pursue that which does not mature, does not build up others, and does not bring glory to God.

First "Medical Camp" a Success as hundreds arrive for treatment at local "clinic"

The first of several "medical camps" where the poor are being treated without charge utilizing medicines provided through the Immanuel Deaf Churches of Kenya

We received a report this week that the first of several planned medical camps have been conducted utilizing medicines provided through a donation from the International Children's Fund. Though the release process was long and arduous (as well as expensive), the medicines were finally released from the Port of Mombassa and shipped by truck to Kiserian, just outside of Nairobi.
Josephat Mulongo tells us that rural hospitals and clincs from all over Kenya have been coming to this central location to pick up allotments of medicines and that more of these medical camps will be operated throughout the region.

Long lines form very quickly once word is out that medical care is available.

The medicines were originally stocked at the Mars Hospital in Kiserian, which has become the distribution point as well as the site of the first medical camp. The Mars hospital is adjacent to the Immanuel Deaf Church, which is the managing organization for the medicines. The needs among the Deaf in Kenya are enormous. Charitable donations are off to their sponsoring organization by almost 60%; largely due to massive natural disasters in Japan and the U.S. We are endeavoring to raise covering for the deficit in support through our own efforts here in the U.S. You can donate by sending a check or via PayPal or Credit Card.
