THE STORY OF THE SMALL BOY

In 1996, Pastor Masha was blessed with his second born Evans who was born at a time of great financial needs where it was even very hard for Masha and his family to get one meal. This is after Pastor Masha resigning his work to serve the Lord as a full time pastor. This situation became even worse in 1997 which led Masha’s family to great suffering which resulted Evans to suffer Kwashiorkor.

His history of suffering malnutrition at his young age motivated him to offer himself to help many children and other people who are suffering because of financial constraints.

When Evans completed his high school he was taken by his father to a mission trip in the bush where there was a mission to help during the giggers outbreak. That is when God started calling Evans to help people with medicine in the bush something that helped him choose the medical career.

Masha’s second born Evans Vidzo suffering malnutrition in 1997

After Evans Vidzo realized his purpose in the medical field he attached himself to Doctor Mwatete who was serving in the medical field to be his mentor.

In the same year of 2015, God answered the prayer of Evans to join the medical field by being called to a well recognized government institution, Jomo Kenyatta University. He was called to pursue Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Despite the financial struggles from the beginning where he had to join Campus with zero shillings apart from the admission fee, God was faithful to the boy and kept on providing for the boy’s school fees through the family, government loans and servants of God. In great acknowledgement and appreciation is Pastor Phil Duncan and Ken Whitehead who made remarkable contributions towards the education of the boy.

In 2019 shortly before his graduation a team from Springhills Baptist Church came to the bush for a church plant.

Amongst them was a team of three nurses namely Percella Gualtieri, Rachel Boggs Gattrell and Barbara Phillips. This medical team greatly served in the medical mission camp and about 300 people prayed to receive Christ in 2 days.

During the mission at the bush Percella felt a strong conviction towards helping with the bush medical care and she was ordained as Kakarthu (a Waata name meaning one who cares for medical needs in the bush)

The medical camp main mission of reaching people to Christ through showing them his love by offering medical services was successfully implemented. Glory be to God and we highly appreciate the Springhills Baptist Church for offering medical supplies and even sending the team members to be part and parcel of the whole thing.

  1. We could not uphold our clients Privacy due to our congested set-up that we did not budget for.
  2. We could not uphold the Infection Prevention and Control measures as we did not budget for dust bins for proper waste segregation.
  3. We could not perform health education to the people so as to sensitize them on the different ways they can prevent their common infections.
  1. I would recommend that we have separate tents to divide each section of service delivery for well organization, privacy and control of infections to our clients. These tents will always be used in the continuous medical camps which are atleast 3 every year.
  2. Big tent one (50 seater) – to serve as a waiting bay, ministration point and counseling.
