Samaritan’s Purse Brings Hope and Encouragement to Children Through Christian Audio-Visual Resources

 

 

 

Healing Goes Beyond Surgery

At CURE Kenya, healing is about more than successful surgeries. It is also about caring for the emotional and spiritual well-being of every child who walks through our doors.

A Long-Answered Prayer

For children at CURE Kenya, treatment can mean long hours in waiting areas, wards, and rehabilitation rooms. Earlier this year, Samaritan’s Purse donated Christian audio-visual materials and 21 display screens to help fill those moments with Bible stories, worship, and messages of faith. The screens were installed in the wards and major sitting areas, such as hospital lounges, and were officially commissioned in July 2026.

For Rev. Victor, CURE Kenya’s Spiritual Ministry Director, the gift answered a prayer he had carried for years. “This was a long-awaited prayer. It gives us a convenient way to reach families with the Gospel without necessarily having to be on a pulpit.”

 

Comfort During Difficult Moments

For many children, recovery can involve pain, uncertainty, and long hours away from family and friends. Christian audio-visual content provides a welcome distraction while also filling those quiet moments with messages of faith, courage, kindness, and God’s unfailing care. Physical therapist Tedpaul says the contents on the screens have changed the atmosphere in the rehab room. “My work has become more interesting. The content sparks conversations about faith, and sometimes those conversations open doors to talk about God with the children and their families.”

 

 

Supporting the Whole Child

CURE Kenya believes every child deserves care that addresses both the body and the heart. Alongside expert medical treatment, spiritual encouragement is an important part of helping children heal. Baraka, a young patient at CURE Kenya, has made the Christian content more than something to watch. “The programs have helped me grow closer to God. I have learned things about faith that I did not know before.”

The content also reached parents. Susan, whose faith was once more of a box to check after choosing between Christianity and Islam, says her time at CURE Kenya has caused her to take her walk with God more seriously. “I came here with my faith being something I had just checked off. But being here and watching the Christian programs has made me think differently about my relationship with God.”

By making Christ-centered content available throughout the hospital, Samaritan’s Purse is helping nurture hope, strengthen faith, and bring joy to children as they recover.

 

A Partnership Making a Lasting Difference

To better serve the families, CURE Kenya’s eight chaplains were trained in the Heart Of A Chaplain by Samaritan’s Purse and the Program Manager of World Medical Missions, Rev. Dr. Jacob Pratt, who, drawing inspiration from Matthew 25:31-46, emphasized the importance of serving others as a reminder of Christ’s teachings. He praised the  Chaplaincy program, stating, “The Heart of a Chaplain chaplaincy program is something to be proud of and grateful to be able to share with others of the impact it has made.” He challenged the chaplains to clothe themselves with the love of Christ so they could serve people and patients better.

 

 

Looking Ahead with Hope

As more children come to CURE Kenya seeking life-changing treatment, partnerships like this continue to make a lasting impact. Samaritan’s Purse is helping create an environment where healing extends beyond the operating room—where every child can experience compassionate medical care alongside the hope found in Christ.
