The purpose of this note to share highlights of the Medical Mission Trip to Mully Children’s Family in Ndalani, Kenya this past July.  It was a remarkable time of learning and caring for the children and the community. Our sincere thanks to all who supported team members and clinic expenses. Below are a few highlights of the trip. We hope you will support us in planning for another similar trip next summer when we would once again recruit doctors and nurses. We have an urgent need for dentists, oral surgeons, optometrists, and pharmacists! Hundreds of patients could not get the dental or eye care they needed. Read on for more details……

In July 2022 three American doctors and 13 Canadians (including 1 doctor from Montreal, a nurse from Belleville and a nurse from Vancouver area) had a great time visiting MCF Kenya and serving at the July Medical Mission Camp. Most of us were not medical people, just willing helpers. Over 1,500 patients were cared for including MCF staff or children wanting to see a doctor and hundreds of the community who have not had the opportunity to come to a medical camp since Covid started.

During the clinic several tragic cases caught our attention.  A young man in a wheelchair for 9 months was misdiagnosed with meningitis.  Our doctor had him walking with assistance after two treatments.  Another elderly gentleman with an open, festering, 4-month leg wound, walked (limped) miles to the clinic. The medical team cleaned the wound and administered antibiotics and sent him to the hospital. 

When we visited the nursery, we found 18 babies wrapped in rows and sleeping soundly. Then they woke up!!   

What was truly impressive about this model of care for abandoned, abused and vulnerable children, is their success.  After completing Grade 12, children are equipped with an education, good health, a strong Christian faith and an incredible attitude towards life.  They have character traits that are enviable.  They know how to serve, they are gracious and polite, they are loving and patient, they are motivated.  They go on to College or University - all paid for by Daddy Mully - to become contributing members of their communities as plumbers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, pilots, mechanics, carpenters, hair stylists to name a few.  The Mully vision is to find the potential in each child.  The prayer is that these children would go on to transform communities, the government of Kenya and to raise a generation of leaders with strong families.

 It was a joy and honour to share this experience with our team.  I have many new friends and am grateful to the Lord for yet another life-giving, faith-enriching experience.

Thank you to those who contributed to support the work of Mully Children's Family and thank you to those who upheld our team in prayer.

When people visit MCF they are struck by the vastness of all that MCF entails while still not being institutional, but a large, loving family. Start your plans to join us next summer!

What you can do:

1. Consider coming next summer.
2. Consider donating.

We wired $25,000 CAD to purchase medicine and supplies for the clinic and for ongoing community care that MCF provides free of charge.  We are still short about $8,000. If you would like to donate to this, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
