One of the first things we do when a new child comes to our Children’s Homes is give them a medical examination. Because our kids come from situations where they were enslaved, we make it a priority to meet any physical needs as soon as possible.

The first eight kids we brought to the Regency Home were lovingly and carefully examined by a medical team which consisted of three U.S. nurses who had volunteered their time and skills to help in this ministry. These nurses were seasoned professionals (each one had more than twenty years of experience in the medical field), but they were still overwhelmed by the level of physical trauma these children had experienced.

Professional medical care is one of the first steps we take to show our rescued children that they are loved, valued, and protected because we serve a Savior who met His people’s physical needs. Jesus brought a message of spiritual salvation, but He also healed the blind, made the lame walk, and even raised the dead. By following in His example and showing care for our kids’ physical afflictions, we are able to earn their trust, eventually giving us an opportunity to share about the Great Physician who can give us a greater healing by cleansing our sinful hearts.
