Benevolence Ministry Update 2009
World Ministries International (WMI) has never been busier in our benevolence ministry than this past year. Dr. Michael Hyodo and his family are still residing in Nairobi, Kenya and have been continuing the works of faith with WMI as we commit to sharing the gospel in word and deed.
James 2:14-17: “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
The following are some of the benevolence projects WMI has been involved with:
We have completed a new dental clinic in the Satellite area of Nairobi to serve the poor. This makes our seventh dental clinic built in Kenya.

Pastor Mike Adipo made a request to build a classroom at his church, the Smart Cathedral/Calvary Charismatic Centre church in the Kawagware slum in Nairobi. Pastor Adipo was raised up as a pastor under Dr. Hansen in the 1980’s and 1990’s. He is standing on the future site where we helped to build his classroom with his wife, Nancy.

The LCC team also helped to build the classroom for Pastor Adipo and the Smart Cathedral Church.

We also did a free dental camps at our main clinic and mission house at South C, Nairobi.
WMI has had a long relationship with the Mcedo School in the Mathare slum. We have seen them go from scattered rooms interspersed throughout the slum to a two-story stone building. It is located nearby the river and an illegal alcohol (Changaa) brewing operation.
The team took a winding pathway through the slums. We found many friends along the way.
Another WMI relationship is with the Kayaba church in the South B slum with our caretaker, Pastor Paul Sitati. The LCC team visited and provided for a food outreach to the community.
We also did some evangelism as many people gave their lives and hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ.
WMI had a staff retreat and presented two staff member, Shadrack and Irene with bible school certificates.
The WMI dental clinic and mission house at South C is starting to get busier and busier.
The LCC provided finances for scholarships for three children at the Comido school. This scholarship covers all school fees for these children through 8th grade. Nahima, Heroll, and Happiness were honored and happy to receive their scholarships.

WMI sent a container to Kenya in July 2009. This was filled with used dental equipment, donated clothes, a church tent, 400 soccer jerseys and equipment, 5000 books, and other donation items for the poor. Nikki Hyodo is standing in front of the open container before it was sent out. Our goal is to build five more dental clinics.

We have supporters all over the world helping WMI to serve the poor. Kathleen Smith is a patient in Dr. Mike’s Bellevue, Washington dental clinic who has sewn hundreds of receiving blankets and diapers for orphan babies. She is pictured here with Nikki Hyodo and staff members Tatyana and Shelley.
