Medical Mission 2025

In January 2025, Global Compassion Resources launched a transformative medical mission to Eldoret, Kenya, in collaboration with Haven Recovery Center. Through three free community clinics, our team extended healing and hope to hundreds—building bridges of care and compassion that continue to ripple outward.

This vibrant team was a blend of seasoned volunteers and inspiring new additions, including one member who journeyed from Uganda. Our travels began in Los Angeles, with stops in London and Nairobi, where another teammate joined the effort. From there, we continued on to Eldoret, greeted at Haven Recovery Center by an outpouring of warmth, joy, and gracious hospitality.

That same evening, we were welcomed into a celebration of profound love and commitment: the 30th wedding anniversary of our hosts, Bishop Philip and Navy Rono. It was a night of heartfelt connection, setting the stage for the deeply meaningful days to come.

🩺 Medical Outreach & Clinic Impact

Our 2025 mission brought vital medical care to two communities near Eldoret:

• Eden (about 45 minutes from the city)

• Ndalat

Each day, our dedicated team served approximately 400 patients—a total of over 1,200 individuals across the mission. Services included general health consultations, minor surgical procedures, and pharmacy support, all provided free of charge.

👨‍⚕️ Our medical team comprised:

• 7 compassionate physicians

  • 1 skilled nurse practitioner

  • A full team of pharmacy and support personnel

Since 2017, Global Compassion Resources has faithfully provided monthly pharmacy services to patients living with chronic conditions—an ongoing testimony to God’s provision and grace in sustaining this ministry.

Conditions we treat and manage include:

• HIV (AIDS)

• Diabetes

• Hypertension

• Seizure disorders

• Malaria

• Fungal infections

• Common childhood illnesses

Month after month, we witness our patients returning with restored health and renewed trust—a powerful reflection of what compassionate, consistent care can achieve.

💖 Compassion Beyond Clinics

Beyond medical outreach, our team cherished time spent with clients at Haven Recovery Center. One especially moving initiative came from a U.S.-based substance abuse counselor on our team, who brought a message of solidarity across continents.

📨 Before the journey, she coordinated with her recovery group in the U.S. to send handwritten letters of encouragement—reminding Haven’s clients that addiction knows no borders, and neither does compassion.

The letters were received with deep emotion and gratitude. In an unforgettable moment, Haven’s clients responded with their own heartfelt notes, soon to be delivered back to the U.S.—an exchange of empathy, dignity, and shared hope that transcended distance and language.

🌟 A Continuing Mission

This mission was not a one-time endeavor—it was part of a living legacy of service, relationship, and love. We remain deeply grateful for our Kenyan partners and the incredible work being done through Haven Recovery Center and the Global Compassion Resources family.

We return home humbled and inspired, committed to the journey ahead—life by life, month by month.

A Testimonial from Bishop Philip Rono

Global Compassion Resource is a Godly given vision to the communities. We've witnessed lives in the villages that could not be able to pay medical bills come to be treated at Eden, meeting with Doctors with a passion, for listening and very loving, getting well. Old men and women are very appreciative about Global Compassion Resource in Kenya. They always pray that the clinic will continue serving our people.

Receive warm greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We bless you our co-worker in Christ for the great support in God’s work we have kept running. Indeed, it’s a new year, another opportunity God gives us to continue perfecting His good works. On 21st Jan 2023, we carried out our free medical camp. We saw God’s hand in every activity we undertook that day. We arrived at the venue at 8:00 am with six personnel. We talked to the patients shortly and…
