Gary and Connie Young and the Friends of Kibimba Hospital Board
The Friends of Kibimba board continues to be amazed at all God is doing to bring healing and hope through the work of Kibimba Hospital. Through the generosity of many individuals who also care about the hospital, we’ve been able to donate or help raise funds for mattresses, a commercial washing machine, computers, blankets, lab machines, sheets, and fabric.
One of our current goals is finishing the maternity building: We are currently raising funds for the new 3-story building which is under construction. The first floor of this building will have an operating room and 100 beds, providing space for maternity care and for the care of premature babies. The second floor will house a 120-bed pediatric ward. The third floor will include eight administrative rooms, a large meeting room, and 8 VIP rooms.
Construction of the third floor is completed and the roof has been finished, but all the rooms need doors, windows, walls, paint and furniture: beds, tables, chairs and desks.
You may give toward the completion of this project by visiting our PayPal donation page or by sending a donation to Friends of Kibimba Hospital, 3220 S. Oak Street, Wichita KS 67217.
We are also supporting Dr. Nahimana, a son of one of Kibimba Yearly Meeting’s former legal representatives, who is in medical school in Tanzania for 3 more years. God is truly working at Kibimba Hospital, proved by a person being won to Christ everyday, on the average!
Visit our website at www.fkhosp.org to watch a fully-captioned, French-language documentary that recalls the history of the Friends Church’s work in Burundi, Africa from 1934 when Arthur and Edna Chilson arrived through the many years following. It includes information about the church planting, educational work, and medical care provided by the workers God called. The founding of Kibimba Hospital in 1946 and subsequent developments in this ministry are detailed as the film progresses.
Please be much in prayer for the Hospital, the staff, new people coming to serve and coming to Christ, and new ways to raise support for major financial needs!
