When faith meets compassion, something powerful happens. At KIMSAN, our medical missions are more than just health clinics—they’re sacred encounters. Every bandaged wound, every prayer whispered, every pint of donated blood carries the love of Christ into homes, hearts, and entire communities.

In 2024, our Migori Medical Missions were a shining example of that love in action. Held across November and December, these camps became a life-saving outreach and a Gospel-centered witness rolled into one.

The Purpose: Bringing Healthcare Where It’s Needed Most

In many parts of Migori County, access to healthcare is limited. High costs, remote locations, and lack of awareness prevent thousands from getting the help they need. That’s where KIMSAN stepped in.

Goals of the Migori Medical Camps:

  • Provide free, accessible healthcare services to underserved populations
  • Create opportunities for evangelism and prayer
  • Build community trust and engagement through compassionate outreach
  • Promote preventive care and health education

“We don’t separate the physical from the spiritual. We believe in healing the body and soul—together.” – KIMSAN Medical Outreach Coordinator

Services Offered During the Camp

Thanks to the generous support of our partners—Life Care Hospital, the County Government of Migori, and private healthcare providers—we delivered a wide range of services:

  • Cancer screening
  • HIV testing and counselling
  • Malaria and infection treatment
  • Kids’ immunization and nutrition counseling
  • Diabetes and blood pressure screening
  • Pregnancy testing and urinalysis
  • Health education on hygiene and disease prevention
  • Counseling for grief, depression, and abandonment

“This camp helped restore not just my health—but my hope.” – Local Beneficiary, Suna West

600 Patients Served… and 100 Pints of Blood Donated

In just a few days, 600 individuals received direct medical care. Our doctors and volunteers worked tirelessly, despite a shortage of supplies, to ensure everyone was treated with dignity and love.

But one of the most inspiring moments?

Our blood donation drive collected over 100 pints of blood—a massive contribution to Migori’s critical shortage. These donations will save lives in emergencies for months to come.

“Donating blood was my way of giving back. I’ve never felt more connected to my community.” – First-time donor, Awendo

The Spiritual Impact: Healing the Heart Too

Alongside the medical tents were our dedicated evangelism teams, praying with patients, offering words of hope, and sharing the Gospel.

  • One-on-one evangelism led many to Christ
  • Families received follow-up visits and church connection
  • Some patients reported experiencing healing not just physically—but emotionally and spiritually
  • New believers were introduced to local pastors and invited to begin discipleship immediately

One unforgettable testimony came from a shopkeeper who hadn’t been to church in over a decade. After receiving medical care and prayer, he gave his life to Christ right there on the street.

Simeon’s House: Caring for the Forgotten

Our socio-economic outreach through Simeon’s House was a critical part of this mission. Seniors who often suffer in silence due to poverty or abandonment received:

  • Medical check-ups
  • Emotional and spiritual counseling
  • Follow-up care
  • Encouragement and community connection

Through this, KIMSAN lives out James 1:27 — “Pure religion is to visit the orphans and widows in their affliction…”

What Our Partners Are Saying

“From free lab tests to nutritional advice, people were treated with compassion and care. We pray this continues and grows.”
