Hope Transforms: A Success Story

Jeff* is the oldest of four children and is 16 years old. He started school at the Missions of Hope Madoya Center and later successfully transitioned to our Ndovoini Center to attend high school. He lives with his parents and three younger siblings in a one-room house near our Madoya Center. His parents rely on odd jobs to support the family.

Shortly after starting high school, Jeff began experiencing health problems, including fainting spells. Doctors were unable to diagnose his condition despite numerous tests. While many suspected epilepsy, this wasn't the case. Throughout this challenging time, their family social worker stayed in close contact with the family, ensuring Jeff received regular medical care at the MOHI clinic at Pangani Center. He was referred to other medical facilities for further testing, but no diagnosis was made, and his condition didn't improve.

During this difficult period, neither Jeff's family nor the social worker gave up. After all the medical tests came back negative, Jeff's parents didn't know what else to do but pray. The social worker connected Jeff with MOHI counselors and the school chaplain. They provided counseling and spiritual guidance, encouraging the family to put their faith in Jesus and believe in miracles for Jeff's healing.

After some time with lots of prayer and counseling, Jeff started showing signs of improvement. Today, Jeff is healthy and doing well in his studies, although he had to redo his first year of high school due to his absence. He hasn’t given up and aspires to become a doctor in the future.

Jeff's parents are happy and grateful for the support from MOHI during their difficult time. They know that God used MOHI to heal Jeff. In gratitude, they have committed to sponsor a child in need for one term.

We thank God for Jeff and for His healing power.
