SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Dr. Patricia Bailey, founder of Master's Touch
Ministries Global, recently spoke to the congregation of
Emmanuel Baptist Church about her ongoing mission
work in Africa.
The church welcomed her with a festive and worship
ful Swahili song - "Walking in the Light of God" - and
African dance.
Bailey implored Pastor John Mendez and his flock to
join her in her fight to save the people of South Sudan, a
relatively new African nation ravaged by violence and
famine. She showed footage of her recent visit to the
country.
'Tears streamed down many faces as the congregation
was moved with empathy as they watch the on location
footage of the people of a village called Terekeka, mean
ing 'the forgotten land, the forgotten people,"' Bailey said.
Master's Touch is racing against the severe famine that
plagues the region every year between December and
March. In addition, Arabs in the north have oppressed and
exploited the people of South Sudan since 1954, robbing
the nation of its oil and other natural resources.
"We can no longer wait on the U.N. or Red Cross, or
any other (non governmental organization) to respond to
the cry of our people," Bailey said.
Master's Touch nas initiated a clean water project in
. Terekeka, where life expectancy is between 38-42 years
old Micron Absolute Hollow Fiber Membrane Water
Filter has been donated. Allowing villagers to removes
99.9 percent of harmful micro-organisms from the water,
including cholera and typhoid. As a result, Bailey said, the
people of the village have access to clean water for the
first time in their lives.
"We also provide Plumpy'nut (a peanut-based protein
paste) for the mothers of the babies that are extremely
malnourished with bloated bellies full of parasites and
worms ... Our economic empowerment project is our agri
business project. Instead of giving the people of Terekeka
a fish, we are teaching them how to fish," Bailey said.
Emmanuel Baptist Church has agreed to help Bailey in
her efforts. She is also seeking support from other local
churches and individuals. In addition to donations, volun
teers are needed to help pack care packages and travel to
the country on construction and medical missions. School
teachers willing to donate one week to help teach teachers
at a school being planned are also needed.
"We can all do something, and we can all do better to
be our brother's keeper," she said.
Master's Touch Ministries Global is located at 615
Coliseum Drive, just across the street from Habitat for
Humanity. To help, or for more information, call 336-917

that "love for neighbor is
predicated on love for
God."
When we take the time
to acknowledge our unwor
thiness and His gift to us,
how can we be exclusive?
None are worthy of God's
gifts, but He gives anyway.
Jesus wants them to
remember that service
comes from the heart, not
some cute saying! Where is
our compassion for others?
Serving others indicates a
level of compassion for
someone other than self.
There is no room for self
ishness in God's kingdom.
Do we hear what's being
said?
