Kimia Center

On Tuesday we had the opening ceremony and celebration for the Kimia Center. This was a very exciting and joyful event - and several patients from the hospital who have leprosy were transported to their brand new home.

The goal for the center is to share the gospel and disciple the people who come there. Right now all of them are Aka pygmy people. They come from the jungle and often from spiritual darkness. The jungle people live closer to the spirit world - they are more affected by witchcraft, are deeper into animism than a lot of people in town. So the Kimia center will be a place of light and hopefully freedom from spiritual bondage.

The other main goal of the center is treat the people who are suffering from leprosy,  educate them about their illness and how to take their medications, and help them with self-care.
