Meto, Kenya*
A 14-member team will travel to Meto, Kenya to minister to the Maasai. One of the main objectives will be to see patients at our free medical clinics. On past mission trips our doctors and nurses saw 800-1000 people a day. Our ministry team will pray for each patient after their treatment and we are expectant that God will do some great miracles healing the sick!
Further, we are planning on helping the people of Meto build a library adjacent to their existing primary school. We are also praying about the possibility of assisting in building additional classrooms for a secondary school.
One of the most urgent needs in the Meto area for the Maasai is to have access to clean water. Our goal is to raise $50,000 over the next couple of months so that we can start digging wells during our trip. Digging one well supplies 6,000 people, animals, and crops with life sustaining water. The need for water is so unbelievably great that it is imperative that we start digging wells as soon as possible. The contacts to well digging companies in Kenya are being established. The only thing that is missing is the money to accomplish the project! So, we are asking you to help us raise enough money for digging wells!!
Besides that, one of our team members, a certified English teacher, will offer English classes for the Maasai. The main language in Meto is Maa, so a lot of the Maasai do not speak any or just a little English. They asked us to teach them and we are more than excited to give them the opportunity of learning English!

July 2009
Bundibugyo, Uganda
By July 2009 we hope to raise enough money to establish a base in Uganda (as well as Kenya) so that we can take more people on mission trips and have enough, safe places for them to stay. We are planning on buying a building for a school and have housing for missionaries and people to come and help from all over the world. When you feel like God is leading you to be a short or long-term missionary with Integrity Worldwide, please help us reach that goal! Bundibugyo is a very isolated and remote district that borders the Democratic Republic of the Kongo. The next largest city is Fort Portal which is only 30 miles, but due to bad roads, about a three hour drive away.
Integrity Worldwide Mission Teams are sharing the gospel through work in health care, water engineering, education, ministry, counseling, nutrition, and through sharing the love of Jesus Christ with Ugandan and Kenyan families.
Every mission trip is an intense experience where you live side by side with Ugandan and Kenyan families. You will gain experience in evangelism, living a simple lifestyle, praying for people, seeing miracles, providing health care, and especially seeing change in your own life. Most team members come back from the trips saying they went to help the people of Africa, but came back with themselves being changed the most!
