A Message from Pastor Chuchu, ELCK National Project Coordinator and Director of Diakonia Compassionate Ministry - Kenya

The following statement was sent to me by Pastor David Chuchu of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya. I asked Pastor Chuchu for a statement regarding the work we do together and, like always, he came through with some very encouraging words. I had the pleasure of working as Pastor Chuchu’s intern prior to my employment with LCMS World Relief and Human Care and I can honestly state that I have never met a person so dedicated to the needs of his community than he.

He writes:

“I have had an opportunity to work with LCMS World Relief and Human Care through short term medical missions and various humanitarian programs undertaken here in Kenya through the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya for the last five years. The mission opportunities have brought a lot of hope in many needy cases especially the orphans, widows and the elderly among us.

The people that we have helped with the support from LCMS WR and HC here in Kenya are living proof of mercy hands of Christ touching many lives in Kenya. I am very encouraged and hopeful when I look at all the good work we have done together especially with the help from LCMS WR and HC.

Our efforts together have already made big impact on countless lives:
Over 1000 orphans being supported, thousands of needy Kenyans have received medication and some lives that may not have been with us today are there because of your help. We pray that God will continue to strengthen us in this ministry and save more lives. Join us so that we may continue extending the mercy hands of Christ to his children that needs our help.”
