POSTPONED: Kenya Medical Missions Trip
After much consideration and prayer, WMUV is postponing our Kenya Medical Mission Trip until March 3-12, 2023. Currently, MCF is not allowing large groups due to COVID-19. Most of country is not vaccinated and to gather large community groups to receive medical care would be a potential COVID-19 spreader. Please continue to pray for Mully Children’s Family and all of Kenya as they continue to struggle with COVID-19.
