Woman Finds Peace, Hope at Medical Camp

GFA Reports from the Field

Everywhere Kalla looked, despair and disappointment stared back. Her husband and two sons consistently argued with one another. Kalla, her husband and her sons’ families all lived in the same home. On top of it all, Kalla suffered from body pain, weakness and diabetes—and what medicine she had wasn’t working.

A Burdened Life

Kalla heard of a medical camp to be held nearby organized by a GFA World pastor. And the best part? It was free. — Kalla, like the woman pictured, got the care she needed through a GFA World medical camp.

Despite doctors prescribing multiple medications for 80-year-old Kalla’s pain and weakness, none had worked. And with Kalla and her family’s financial circumstances, additional hunts for medical treatment could push the family further into destitution.

Nothing seemed to be going right for Kalla. Her family was in disarray, her body protested in pain—there was no peace in her life.

But then, Kalla heard of a medical camp to be held nearby. And the best part? It was free.

After a doctor saw Kalla and gave her some advice, she received free medicine. Then, Kalla met one of the organizers of the medical camp, GFA pastor Malick.

Pastor Malick made sure that every attendee was taken care of. After the program, Kalla watched as Pastor Malick walked among the attendees, offering words of love and care and extending invitations to upcoming Sunday services. Kalla decided she would attend.
