You know that feeling you get when there are so many demands being made upon you that you can’t possibly meet them without great stress and wondering from where you will draw the strength and resources? Well, this is daily life for the Messengers of Justice (MOJ) and Rev. Leo Okonkwo! When desperate need from a child’s eyes stares at the MOJ’s, the answer “No” never enters their minds.
This habitual response comes from the founding spirituality of HEAL’s mission, which is the Self-Emptying, or Kenosis, of Jesus Christ (cf. Phil 2:6-11). So, when Rev. Leo and the MOJ’s recently encountered a 13-year-old girl named Favor in a dire health condition, they had to do something for her. I, as HEAL President, stood behind them 100% in spite of the cost of our intervention.
The MOJ’s brought Favor to Holy Rosary Hospital, where she was queried by doctors and underwent tests, which revealed a debilitating bone infection in her leg compounded by blood loss. Thankfully, she has been stabilized, leading her to proclaim, “The MOJ’s and HEAL are truly God sent. Their presence has made me feel the love and care of God.” Knowing we have achieved this result is wonderful, but such life saving interventions can not continue without YOUR SUPPORT.
Medical interventions are but one aspect of our comprehensive poverty relief efforts, which include providing food, light, water, and other necessaries for 300 village children enrolled in our three (3) rural Catholic schools. These costs must be met by HEAL through a large ARMY of small donors, who give on a regular basis. In this way, small contributions will combine to make a big impact!
So, I invite you to join the HEAL Family for just $15, $25, or $40 per month to help us cover these basic costs of running the mission. As a member of our family, you will receive prayer support for your intentions, progress letters from Sr. Racheal Ulor, MOJ, and a special gift based on giving level!
