Vision Africa Ministries Inc

VISION AFRICA IS A GOD-CENTERED MINISTRY WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH AFRICAN PEOPLE EMPOWERING THEM TO DEVELOP, STAFF, AND MANAGE PROGRAMS TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.

OVER THE YEARS, VISION AFRICA HAS TREATED MORE THAN 500,000 PATIENTS IN OUR FREE MEDICAL MISSIONS. PRESENTLY WE SEE 300-900 PATIENTS AT EACH MEDICAL MISSION (DEPENDING WHETHER IT IS ONE, TWO OR THREE DAY MEDICAL MISSION). THE PEOPLE TREATED HAVE NO OTHER MEDICAL CARE AVAILABLE TO THEM. THEY LIVE IN THE OUTLYING VILLAGES. OUR SERVICES ARE FREE. EACH MEDICAL MISSION INCLUDES UP TO 10 DOCTORS, 2-4 NURSES, 2-4 PHARMACIST TECHNICIANS, AND SOMETIMES A PHARMACIST AND AN EYE DOCTOR. OUR MISSIONS PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES OUR BIBLES FOR PASTORS PROGRAM. EACH YEAR WE PURCHASE A LEATHER-BOUND COMPREHENSIVE STUDY BIBLE FOR EACH NEW ORDAINED PASTOR IN THE REGION (TYPICALLY 150). THE BIBLE WILL SOMETIMES BE THE ONLY BIBLE IN THE VILLAGE WHERE THE NEWLY ORDAINED PASTORS ARE ASSIGNED (SOMETIMES IT MAY BE THE ONLY BOOK OF ANY KIND). OUR MISSIONS PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES CHURCH PLANTS. THE CHURCHES ARE ESTABLISHED IN A WAY TO ENSURE THEY ARE NEEDED AND ACCEPTABLE TO THE INTENDED COMMUNITY AND CAN BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN A SHORT TIME FRAME.

VISION AFRICA HAS BUILT AND SUPPORTS A 50,000 WATT FM RADIO STATION THAT BROADCAST 24/7 TO A POPULATION OF 22 MILLION PEOPLE. THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAMMING, MEDICAL ADVICE, EDUCATION PROGRAMMING, LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMMING, RELIGIOUS PROGRAMMING, AND MUSIC. THROUGH THIS PROGRAMMING, VISION AFRICA IS RAISING A NEW GENERATION THAT WILL BRING HOPE TO THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA. VISION AFRICA ALSO DOES ONSITE RADIO STATION OPERATION TRAINING. EACH YEAR PROFESSIONAL RADIO FRIENDS FROM KCBI, SHARING INTERNATIONAL, KSJD AND OTHERS COME TO VISION AFRICA RADIO. THEY WORK WITH VISION AFRICA RADIO STAFF TO CONDUCT THE ANNUAL VISION AFRICA MEDIA INSTITUTE. THE MEDIA INSTITUTE WAS ABLE TO TRAIN OVER 350 MEDIA PROFESSIONALS IN 2020.

VISION AFRICA RESPONDS TO THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, AND CULTURAL NEEDS OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE BY PREPARING LEADERS TO MAKE EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA. VISION AFRICA HAS BEEN INVOLVED OR IN CHARGE OF COUNTLESS CONFERENCES, CONVENTIONS, SEMINARS, AND WORKSHOPS EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT GOD AND LIFE AND EQUIPPING THEM FOR THE FUTURE. THESE INCLUDE: STUDENT OUTREACH, SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS FOR CHURCH LEADERS, CONVENTIONS FOR YOUTH, AND WORKSHOPS FOR POLITICAL AND NON-POLITICAL LEADERS. IN ADDITION TO THESE EDUCATIONAL ENTERPRISES, VISION AFRICA BRINGS CONNECTION AND SUPPORT TO SEVERAL ORPHANAGES. DRAWN TO THE NEEDS OF MANY CHILDREN WHO HAVE LOST THEIR PARENTS, OFTEN DUE TO HIV/AIDS, VISION AFRICA VOLUNTEERS BRING THE LOVING TOUCH OF SUPPORT TO EACH INDIVIDUAL THROUGH THEIR JOY AND MISFORTUNE, SOMETHING OVERLOOKED AFTER YEARS OF AFFLICTION, THE CHILDREN WHO LOSE THEIR PARENTS TO HIV/AIDS EACH YEAR.
