Overview of Clinic
This Spring, a Primary Health CareSchool from YWAM Kona teamed up with our R3 Development Centre and a YWAMLausanne DTS Team to serve Sudanese refugees in North Africa through five days of medical clinics embedded in a seven-week health education and outreach.Through the clinic, the team ministered to both the physical and spiritual needs of 258 individuals.
Throughout the clinic days, patients were welcomed at a registration and screening station, then seen by one of three providers. Each clinic station was also staffed with intercessors offering prayer. Following treatment, patients received medications, free of charge, with an optional donation box available.
The majority of adult patients presented with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and high blood pressure, conditions left unmanaged due to a lack of access to healthcare. Respiratory infections, back pain, and skin conditions were also common. Children were primarily treated for rashes, coughs, and colds. Every patient, regardless of their faith background, was offered prayer. Many responded with openness, and several received healing, both physically and spiritually.
Key Testimonies
Notable testimonies of healing included:
- A woman was healed from deafness in one ear, and others who regained hearing.
- A man who had lost use of an arm and a leg due to a stroke; he was able to move and grip his hand after prayer and walked out without a cane..
- Several cases of cataract healing, including one reported two days post-clinic.
- A woman with a painful arm lump, believed to be from a broken needle, was pain-free after prayer.
- A woman who regained sight in her left eye and danced with joy.
Impactful Outreach
Through the clinics and community outreach, the team heard powerful stories of suffering and resilience. Some refugees had recently arrived in the City after fleeing Sudan, while others had lived there for up to a decade. Many described the complete lack of medical access in their home country, deepening the impact of the care they received.
In addition to the clinics, the team ran a seven-week health education program, including vision screenings, health teaching in a children’s school, and adult seminars at both community centers. Activities for children, like face painting and coloring, made the clinics welcoming spaces for families.
Fifty SD cards containing the Bible in Sudanese Arabic, gospel videos, and the Jesus Film were distributed. Most significantly, at least 10 people gave their lives to Jesus.
We praise God for His presence, healing, and the way He used mercy ministry to open doors for the Gospel. The outreach reminded us that medical care is not just about treating bodies—it’s about meeting hearts with the love and power of Jesus.
