Featured Ministry: Amazima Ministries- Prt. 4

How about those lovely kiddos from yesterday? Beautiful aren't they? I love that their futures are brighter because of the work of Amazima Minitries, along with and through people like you. They are not the only ones who benefit from Amazima. I'll let you hear more from the folks at Amazima:

Amazima has fallen in love with the slum community of Masese. We serve the people in Masese through feeding, vocational programs, Bible studies, low cost/free healthcare, HIV management and testing, malnutrition rehabilitation, and community service (Mases Outreach)

Mases Outreach:

Did you catch each of the amazing things listed above? They meet the people of Mases in their need with practical help- help for their physical and spiritual lives. Daily, Monday thru Friday, the orphans of Mases (1,600+) are fed through Amazima's feed program. Can we really grasp the magnitude of kids they feed on a daily basis? The children are fed on the school grounds. Not only are they fed, but every week they're able to take a plate of food home for their caregiver.

Another way Amazima reaches the people of Mases is through their vocational outreach. Through selling beads, women are able to provide for their families. You can click here to read more. Amazima provides for physical needs, but also gives the people the opportunity to provide for themselves.

That's food and vocational help, but there's more! The people are malnourished and disease ridden. Once every week, Amazima provides clinics for screenings and medical help, meeting their immediate and long-term physical needs.

Of course, I've only hit on a small portion of the outreach in Mases. Really, guys, it's amazing work! Please check it all out here- learn about how Katie is involved in all that goes on, read about "Nets not Caskets", and about Bible Studies held in Mases.

All this information can be found under Mases Outreach tab that is under the What We Do tab

Enjoy your day!
