A number of you have asked to see the photos of Abiti, the 9-year-old boy in Kenya who was in such deplorable physical condition for at least 3 1/2 of his life that he could do nothing! No one knew what was wrong with him, but he could not sit and whatever it was, it was also in his ears and rectum. He could not walk with shoes, he’s never been to school, and if he ever went out, he had to be covered with a sheet because people would run away from him or push him back.
Through the ministry of He Intends Victory (that’s ALL of us) and especially Cynthia and Resty, our acting Country Directors for Kenya, this little guy has gone from total despair to being…a real little boy!
We put Abiti in the hospital (thanks to the generosity and love of one of our Board Members and spouse) for 28 days.
When he left the hospital, he was a new little boy. He’s been back now for a check-up and hopefully by this time next month, his ears will be totally clear and he will be able to hear perfectly.
After two specialists looked at Abiti, someone said, “I think it’s extreme Scabies (where mites get underneath the skin and lays eggs which causes extreme and constant itching) and very poor hygiene. And that was it!!
His mother failed to take him to the doctor because of lack of money and never trimmed his finger and toe nails. They grew so long that they grew back into his skin with great pain.

I spoke with Abiti and his mother the day before yesterday and they both recognized that it really was Jesus who has set him free!
Take a look at the photos and truly be blessed. And thank you again to Cynthia and Resty (who herself got Scabies from Abiti) for truly going where no one else would go in helping this happy boy. And thank you again for that wonderful couple who saw him with us and stepped in just like Isaiah the prophet and said, “Send me Lord”…to help Abiti.
May God bless you, Bruce A. Sonnenberg Executive Director/ Founder He Intends Victory
