Our summer by numbers. If you are anything like the rest of us, math is not always the most exciting thing. Missionaries are notoriously more concerned with the people than the numbers, the creative than the analytical. However when you stack up some numbers from our summer missions trips together, it even impressed us, so we thought you’d like to see too. Here is our summer, by numbers.
942-The number of patients seen in a Medical Clinic in Kenya.
3-The number of days the Medical clinic lasted.
396-The number of Hope Academy students who received an annual physical by volunteer doctors.
6-The life expectancy of a young boy named David, had his medical condition not been diagnosed. (He now is getting treatment, and should live a long life)
2-The number of women who devoted their summer to building, staffing, funding, supporting, filling, and educating an entire Science Program and Science Lab at Hope Academy Kenya
251-Number of students who heard about the gospel, many for the first time at Sunday school when our traveler’s taught.
400+-Highschool students who able to watch and participate in a silent drama with 11 of our high school students about the creation of Earth, and the Glory of God, at Lavington High School in Nairobi.
20-Number of classrooms that now have electricity, that have not had lighting before.
8-Number of broken windows repaired at Hope Academy.
375-Number of people fed a warm and healthy meal, prepared by our travelers, in the Slums of Africa.
300+-Number of people seen in a medical clinic in Haiti.
212-Students who received the gospel at a VBS program in Haiti.
600-Haitians seen at a second Medical clinic in Haiti this summer.
250-Kids joined a soccer evangelism ministry set up this summer in Haiti
500 Students through a second round of VBS in Haiti
392-is not the number of travelers we had, or the number of hundreds of dollars we raised it is far more than any of that. 392 is the number of souls who committed their lives to Jesus. Who were lead to the Lord by a phenomenal evangelism team and who will now rejoice with us in heaven one day.
We still aren’t committing to liking math, however these number really stack up!
