Outreach & Missions
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have,
for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
(Hebrews 13:16)
Hazelwood participates in various outreach ministries throughout the year, including:
‘Winnie’s Kids’
One our favorite ministries happens annually when a member of our congregation, Dr. Winnie Mucherah, heads to Kenya each summer with donations from our church, Ball State University, and the Muncie community. These donations help provide much-needed support to Strength as Our Refuge orphan care, Moi Preschool, Shivembe Primary, and Khayega Primary in Kenya. This ministry has also helped fund a school library and a garden to feed the children lunch at school.
Strength as Our Refuge orphan care micro-financing – Kenya
Strength as Our Refuge is a grassroots effort of six women in their seventies who provide an adoptive home to fifty-six children orphaned through disease.
Moi Preschool, Shivembe Primary, Khayega Primary – Kenya
Donations help provide school uniforms, school supplies, and medicine. The uniforms allow all children in the district to attend school. Though education is free, without uniforms children would be turned away. Basic pain relievers and malarial medications have helped keep children healthy and in class. Both the district’s daily attendance and standardized test scores have dramatically increased!
