October – November 2025

The Prayer of Thanksgiving continues for friends of the Kuwaa Mission. The Kuwaa Mission family offers special prayers of thanks this month for those who have supported the mission in addressing the health needs of the Kuwaa people. This time, the Mission is particularly grateful for the support of the clinics we collaborate with in the Kuwaa region.   Thanks to the Kuwaa Mission and its partners, the Kuwaa region, also known as the Belle District, now has two clinics, one in Fassama and one in Kondesu. Most supporters of the Mission are familiar with the Kondesu Clinic, a healthcare facility built and supported by the Kuwaa Mission for many years. The older health facility in Fassama was built by the Government of Liberia in 1974. Although the Kuwaa Mission did not construct the Fassama clinic, it has supported that center since it started working among the Kuwaa people.   One of the Kuwaa Mission partners that has made that support possible for both the Kondesu and Fassama clinics is Global Health Ministries (GHM), based in Minnesota. About four times a year, Global Health Ministries supplies the two Kuwaa health facilities with medical supplies. These supplies help the clinics operate as caregiving centers. Many of the Kuwaa Mission followers will remember that the Mission built the Kondesu clinic and handed it over to the Government of Liberia at its dedication in 2014. The Government’s management of administrative duties was a sign of real progress. But when the Government cannot provide even the basics that the clinic needs, the facility exists only on paper. Still, with support from Global Health Ministries, the Mission has supplied some of the clinic’s essential needs, helping it address some of the health concerns of the Kuwaa people. Not only have they helped with the clinic that the Kuwaa Mission built, but they have also supported the Fassama Clinic, a government facility, with some of the same aid they provide to the Kondesu clinic that the Kuwaa Mission built. We highlight Global Health Ministries as the focus of our Thanksgiving prayers this month because GHM surpassed its usual donations in past years by providing more than the regular essential clinic supplies. In early September this year, the Mission received health supplies for the clinics in the Belle District, Kuwaa region. This action by GHM is not unusual; their consistent support over the years has led the Mission to expect it. However, since early September, we have noticed GHM increasing its involvement with the Mission. In partnership with Lutheran World Relief, GHM sent supplies, including quilts, baby care kits, and other essential materials for use at the Kondesu and Fassama Clinics. The Kuwaa Mission staff has received these materials and is waiting for the dry season to make the final deliveries to the two facilities. We thank God for this partnership that enables the Mission to expand its support to more communities and families. Prayer: God, you never fail to meet our needs. We thank you for Global Health Ministries, Lutheran World Relief, and all the Kuwaa Mission friends around the world who make ministry to the Kuwaa people possible. Oh Lord, grant these your servants good health and joy so they may continue your Mission. To you be all the glory and honor! We ask all this in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Amen!
