Last summer, Hillcrest packed 85 home health care kits in partnership with Baptist Global Response.
From Franklin and Paula Kilpatrick’s newsletter, here’s the latest update on your kits:
God has answered our prayers for the safe arrival of a shipment of Baptist Global Response home-care buckets in Zambia. The buckets were finally received in Lusaka yesterday (22 February 2011). Thank the Lord that the buckets have arrived and pray for their effective distribution. The home-care buckets contain basic supplies to help in the care of bed-ridden patients who are not expected to live. The BGR website has a home-care bucket page that tells more about the project. To read this page go to:

After reading this page pray about what God would have you and your church to do about providing more home-care buckets. The demand is much greater than the supply and many more buckets are needed in Zambia. The BGR website says that 6000 more buckets have been requested. The website also says: "By putting together at least one kit, you will help provide a physical and spiritual touch to those in sub-Saharan Africa who are dying from AIDS and other illnesses. Our local partners in Africa will distribute the buckets in a way that gives dignity and hope to each family receiving a kit."
