Health Conference

The first of the year began with a visit from our dear friends Ed and Kelli Compean. Kelli is a nurse and ministers regularly to her church body in Githuri. She has held several health classes at her church and has seen wonderful fruit. In fact she has not had to see as many people for health reasons because they have made changes in their nutrition and lifestyle. We asked her if she would come to CCL and hold a health conference. She was more than willing and we are so grateful as the conference was such a blessing to the fellowship and a sweet opportunity for people to invite others to CCL. It was two days and Kelli addressed issues from nutrition to diseases, to when to go to the doctor, to health reproduction and sexual diseases. She talked about how to save money and not buy unnecessary medicine which is a huge problem here. Doctors will prescribe an anitobiotic for anything as well as extra things that are not needed. It was so great to see the people listen intently, and ask more questions than there was time for. Kelli was an amazing teacher and really took time with the people. Everyone was so appreciative and the mamas of the church met with Kelli on Sunday and shared in a special way their appreciation for her. It was also an opportunity for the mamas to come together for the first time to cook, and run the kitchen for the conference. We praise God!

Happy New Year!
