Care & Support for the Infected and Affected - July 2014

July was a great holiday month for Tabitha Ministries.

Our US mission teams provided holiday clubs and
bible study/soccer camps for the Tabitha kids and the
children in the Sweetwaters community. Tabitha also
sponsored a free eye clinic and SPCA talk in
Sweetwaters. A food shipment of Numana (rice/bean
mixture) arrived from BGR on July 23
rd
. This will feed
many hungry people in the community. 10 of our Hope
Centre children got the opportunity to attend the Dare
to Dream Camp for a week as well. We are very
happy campers this month for sure!

Holiday Clubs & Soccer Camps!

Our kids enjoyed the holiday club given on campus by
our US team from Kentucky. The KY team also
provided a holiday club for 80+ children & teens in
Sweetwaters. Tabitha also sponsored two Bible study-
soccer camps in Sweetwaters which were gracious run
by our mission team from Mississippi. We gave away
163 Bibles during those two weeks to the Sweetwaters
community kids.


SPAC
talk to
prevent
animal
cruelty.
Healing for the whole
community
Tabitha sponsored a free eye clinic to provide
reading glasses to the adults of Sweetwaters. For
two days, our eye physician fitted patients with
new glasses. Our interpreters proclaimed the
gospel in the waiting area to the people as they
waited. Also the SPCA came and gave a very
well attended and informative talk on how to
take better care of the pets in the Sweetwaters
community.


House Visits and Boys
Dorm
Sweetwater house visits continue
with 3 new patients coming to know
Christ. We delivered Buckets of Hope
along with Bibles and medications to
help bring healing to the body and
soul.

Our boys wing is almost complete.
We added much needed shelving
thanks to local donors. Our interns
also painted the boys bedrooms with
beautiful murals.




Dare to Dream
Ten of our Tabitha children got to go
for the week to the Dare to Dream
camp. They enjoyed camping outdoors,
hiking, and learning to use bows &
arrows and shoot sling shots.

We also received a 40 foot container of
Numana (nutritious mixture of rice and
beans|) from Baptist Global Response.
This will go a long way to providing
food for our child headed house homes
in the Sweetwaters community.
