Changing Lives in Gutu, Zimbabwe
God is good! With your help, we completed an ambitious 2025 Medical Outreach season in Gutu, Zimbabwe. We have stories to share with you, but first, here’s a glimpse of just how many lives you helped change in Gutu.
Thankful Hearts Return
Ten years ago, a woman came to our Medical Outreach in Gutu with her very sick daughter. Doctors couldn’t help the little girl, and the pair went to our Spiritual Care Ministry. There, Patrick, an Outreach Partner, prayed for the girl. She immediately felt better, and they went on their way.
This October, the same mother and daughter, now a young woman, returned — but not for medical care. They went straight to the prayer tent to thank the man who had prayed for them. What a happy reunion it was for Patrick, who was back with us. The daughter hasn’t had any health issues since that prayer 10 years ago. She is living a full, healthy life. They just wanted to express their gratitude for the prayer that changed their lives. A big part of their gratitude goes to people like you who make these Medical Outreaches possible.
Impromptu Surgery Changes a Woman’s Life
On the last day of the Gutu Medical Outreach, we met Terriera in the dental department. Without sufficient medical care available to her, what had started as a tiny blemish on her jaw had become a very large growth.
Imagine, for a moment, the shame this woman endured because of her disfigurement. Imagine the looks she received, the gossip she heard whispered as she passed in the street, the embarrassment she felt when people gawked at her face.
Because you helped send us to her community, all that changed for Terriera. There are no coincidences with God, and on this Outreach, we “happened” to have a highly specialized dentist volunteering with us. Right there in the dental tent, the specialist was able to surgically remove the mass on Terriera’s face — and the shame that came with it.
“It showed me that we do make a life-changing impact,” said a staff member who observed the transformation, “that God can send someone from across the world to help another person in need.” The staff member has remained in contact with Terriera and learned that she is recovering well.
This story reveals how vital these Medical Outreaches are. The places you send us lack adequate facilities, equipment, and medical personnel to meet all the needs in their communities.
You Made the Difference
We wouldn’t have been there for Terriera if not for you and others like you, who give to support the cost of providing quality medical, dental, and eye care to thousands at each Outreach. Along with this aid, we share the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus) to members of these African Jewish communities and their neighbors. You are truly changing lives, for now and for eternity.
Thank you!
