Dear Friends,
We at Agape medical missions bring you our most
affectionate greetings in the new year 2009.
We want to thank all of you who have supported us in
the past couple of years in our efforts to reach the
most vulnerable in rural Africa.
In 2008, we were able to undertake two mission trips
to The Presbyterian Joint Hospital in Uburu, Ohaozara
LGA in Nigeria. With your support, we were able to
provide medical equipments and materials to the
hospital, mattresses, bedsheets and pillow cases to
the children s ward at the hospital. We also provided
baby clothings to the hospital. We were also able to
feed the children on the wards and some vulnerable
patients on other wards for two weeks in July and
August. We provided both medical and dental care
during the period including training for the staff.
We shall in due course post some of the photographs of
our missions on the website.
Continue to partner with us by uplifting us in your
prayers.

We love you all.

MISSION PROJECT:

Agape ministries medical mission is a charity with the aim of organising and providing healthcare to deprived areas of developing countries mainly Africa. The mission aims at providing holistic care to people with particular emphasis on the vulnerable, the needy and children.

The mission is organising its first trip in August 2007 to the Presbyterian Joint Hospital, located in UBURU, in EBONYI STATE, NIGERIA. The hospital, located in a rural area of one of the relatively new states in what was then Eastern Nigeria was established by the Church of Scotland Mission. A Scottish medical missionary named Dr. J. W. Hitchcook pioneered this work in 1913 in a place he described as the 'City of salt lake'. Today the hospital is a joint venture between the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria and the Ebonyi State Government.

We at Agape Missions, our friends and partners are challenged by the words of Jesus:
For I was hungry and you gave me food;
I was thirsty and you gave me drink;
I was a stranger and you took me in;
I was naked and you clothed me;
I was sick and you visited me;
I was in prison and you came to me.

WE HOPE YOU ARE CHALLENGED ALSO.
