The Africa Vision Tract House Society (AVTHS), in partnership with the Upper Room Baptist Church, Lekki–Ajah, conducted a one-day Medical Mission for residents of Ajah and surrounding communities in Lagos State on Saturday, 1 October 2016. The programme, tagged “Come and Eat 2016,” was organised to address the physical (food and clothing), medical, and spiritual needs of the beneficiaries.
This outreach provided an opportunity to minister holistically to the community by combining healthcare services, counselling, and the sharing of the gospel, while demonstrating the love and compassion of Christ in practical ways.
The Medical Mission achieved the following outcomes:
i. A total of 125 cases were treated at the General and Eye Clinics.
ii. 18 eyeglasses for reading and sight were dispensed.
iii. A total of 337 laboratory tests were conducted.
iv. 38 persons received counselling services.
v. One individual made a decision for Christ through counselling.
vi. Gospel tracts were distributed to beneficiaries.
vii. Food and clothing items were distributed.
We thank God for His mercy and provision throughout the mission. We sincerely appreciate our partners and volunteers for their prayers, active participation, and support, which made this outreach possible.
