As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 4:10
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus, from Healing Grace Medical Centre Fraternity. We thank our Lord for the provisions you are rendering to us for the good motives in the community. We truly appreciate you. May the Lord God bless you abundantly.
The medical center has reached and treated people with the screening and treatment of diabetic clients, hypertensive clients, and urinary tract infection clients. We even have family planning services for women of reproductive age.
We screened and treated 209 patients (90 males, 119 females). When the day was too big for us, we managed to get some volunteers who helped us to treat these people and finish in time. We first begin with educating the clients on the prevention of both communicable and non-communicable diseases.
For family planning, we were able to help ten females of reproductive age.
Prayer Requests for the Medical Center:
- For a means of transportation for the patients. Some have had to remain at home without being treated because they could not reach the Medical Center.
- The lack of scan services has affected the quality of health care we can give to our clients. Sometimes we end up having to refer them.
Healing Grace Medical staff see thirty to fifty patients regularly throughout the week. There is a wholeness to how the Scriptures bring new life to everyone touched by church members’ obedience. They turn away from the darkness and walk in truth and light. They no longer seek the input of witchdoctors but instead trust the doctor at the Medical Center. This is a vital ministry to assist the pastors and the churches to completely transform their communities.
Our maternity ward is a blessing to the women who deliver their babies in a safe, sterile, and healthy environment. Patience, one of the Healing Grace midwives is holding the firstborn twins after a normal delivery at the Maternity ward. Prior to having a maternity ward, the poor women gave birth on the dirt floor of their stick and mud house often without any trained midwife to assist them.
Because of generous donations, our doctors and nurses are able to go into the rural villages and diagnose illnesses among people who would never visit a medical center because they are so poor. Here a nurse is testing the blood pressure of a patient outside her home during an outreach. The doctors frequently find people suffering from diabetes, malaria, typhoid, and other diseases. Now, these people are treated and find a whole new joy in living.
- Pray for our medical staff that they would stay healthy during their visits.
- Pray for the people they encounter and that they would have the wisdom to treat them.
- Pray for the evangelism team who share the gospel of salvation.
Thanks to our generous partners, including — Kenyon Companies, Help from Above, and Cup of Water — The Property was purchased, the buildings are finished, and the staff is in place. We still need to subsidize the salary of the staff so our medical center can provide treatment even to the poorest members of the villages. Your Donations Can Make a Difference.
The Medical Center will provide care to the people in all the surrounding villages. Women will be able to give birth in a clean and sterile place without having to drive hours to the nearest clinic. Since the grand opening in November 2019, patients have been coming through for care.
How Your Donation Will Help
Some members of the community are able to pay a fee for the medical care they receive, others are so poor they would not have in the past received any medical care for their wounds or infections. Lack of treatment would have caused great suffering and in some cases an easily avoidable death. Your donations help the medical team provide for those impoverished people too poor to pay any fee. The church leaders of God’s Embassy Ministry consult with the Administrative Team to help discern members of the community who need assistance. The Fellowship group leaders and the pastors of our local churches know who is truly poor. The ministry cooperation provides wonderful teamwork ensuring the resources are used with wisdom to help the needy. Additionally, our faculty at the elementary school can now refer students who appear to have infections to the medical center.
Partnership in Ministry at Work
We had a patient from our Graceland Elementary School who appeared to have extreme pain in her foot. She was transported to HGMC and was greeted by a nurse. Dr. Emmanuel examined her foot and determined what treatment was necessary. Allen, the child had to get an incision so that they could remove some foreign thorn, other debris, and disinfect the wound. In the past, before the Healing Grace Medical Center was open, a student like Allen would just suffer through the pain and may not have received any treatment. Many people die from Tetanus infection in this area, we would like to arrange tetanus vaccinations for all the children.
Allen will come back to the center for bandage changing for the next five days. Dr. Emmanual and the nurses can ensure that the wound heals properly and Allen’s infection is treated and completely healed. In conjunction with the treatment, through Graceland school and our gift catalog donations, Allen will be provided a pair of shoes.
The Team at Healing Grace Medical Center
Meet our Medical Team.
Pastoral Administrator Robinson Kwesiga leads the team with Dr. Emmanuel.
We have a midwife, nurses, a lab technician and a financial registrar on-site.
You can be a partner with our medical ministry by donating towards medical supplies and medication. Your partnership is how we are able to provide medical treatment to the weakest members of the community who otherwise could not afford any medical treatment. Our church leaders coordinate with the medical center to advise and recommend who is poor in the community.
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Matthew 25:40
Many Patients are Coming Through Every Day
Pray for our medical team as they administer tests for malaria and typhoid. Treatment is now available, and with your prayers, God will continue to provide both the tests and the medicines for common infections. We also have some larger medical equipment items we are praying for the funding to receive. One of these is an Ultra-Sound Scanner for approximately $8,000 and a Refrigerator designed to store Vaccines for roughly $3,500, or a portable Xray machine for approximately $5,500.
