Outreach

If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that? (James 2:16)

Village Food Distribution

The needs of the people in Gambia are many, and in order to be able to share the love of Jesus with them, we realized we have to help provide for their physical needs as well. Many families have numerous children and it’s very hard for them to provide daily food. Shared Blessings provides bags of rice to those in need. The difference that this small act of kindness is making in people’s lives is overwhelming. People open up to us and we are able to share the Gospel through the feeding ministry.

First Aid

First Aid

One of the greatest needs in Gambia is medical care. Basic medical supplies can be too expensive for large low-income families. Over the years, the Lord has enabled Shared Blessings to provide pain medication, ointments and bandages to more people than we can count.

We assist with basic medical needs and teach physical and dental hygiene to the children and their parents. We also help people pay for the doctor visits and medications they otherwise would not be able to afford.

We are always in need of bandages, Neosporin, Aspirin, Tylenol, tooth brushes, and tooth paste. Please contact Manuela Bah at sbgambia@yahoo.com if you are able to donate medical supplies or wish to be part of the medical team.

Repairs and Maintenance

An important part of our community outreach is to help restore homes that have been damaged or destroyed by storms. This gives us the opportunity to build relationships as we work alongside our neighbors to rebuild their homes.
