Care for the Sick: Matthew 25:36b,39,40 “……(Jesus Speaking) I was sick and you looked after me….
When did we see you sick…when you did it for the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me”.

  CMA is a volunteer medical team made up of students and doctors from the University of Nairobi. How did CMA get started? From our first mission trip with the Southern Baptist Missions Outreach in 2001, God was working through all of us in different ways to accomplish His purposes. God was working through everyone including our now brothers and sisters who we had then just met and worked with there in Kenya. God is amazing, but to make a longer story short, one of the members from our church named Barbara Brand, developed a strong fellowship with a young student named Daniel Somba. She had a desire in her heart to sponsor Daniel through medical school. Daniel graduated from the University of Nairobi’s medical school in 2007.  Daniel desired to give back to his community and other communities in the region. In March of 2005, Daniel and about 20 of his fellow medical students had their first official CMA meeting. Since then CMA continues to give back in many ways such as providing completely free mobile medical clinics at three different churches in the Machacos area and volunteering in the Child Mentoring Program by mentoring the children who are sponsored in the Adopt-a-Child program.
  In July of 2005, the CMA students (about 30 in all), went on their first trip to Machakos. They visited Nzakoni Baptist Church, primary schools at Nzaikoni and Kwangolya, and General Mulinge High School. They gave 5 separate educational talks and distributed free dental supplies to all the children. They spoke in a session to over 1400 children on HIV / AIDS, drugs and drug abuse, oral hygiene, careers and also gave a short sermon.
  Currently CMA is in the final stages of becoming an NGO and working on setting up their headquarters in Nairobi. They are working on getting grants to set up government certified clinic/ dispensaries at each of the three churches. Students from the village could receive lab and technician government training to support the clinics. They are also working on building government certified latrines for hygiene and bringing water wells to Kasaini and Nzakoni. Between 35%- 60% of the diseases in the villages are water borne and hygiene related diseases.
