Meet Aster Lemma

Aster Lemma began to experience symptoms of Mossy Foot disease as a young teenager. After marriage at the age of fifteen, her symptoms worsened, so much so that when she was pregnant with her first child, her husband threatened to throw her out if the child was a girl.When she gave birth to a daughter, he did as he had threatened.

Aster and her little child led a desperate life of rejection and poverty. But God did not forget her. At her lowest moment, able only to crawl on elbows and knees and threatened with execution by the hand of a family member, God granted her a great deliverance and gave her the strength to walk to a clinic she had heard about where good people gave free treatment to poor women like her.

Read her story in her own words on the Mossy Foot Web site and see for yourself how God moved both supernaturally through prayer and visions and naturally through the consistent medical treatment provided by the Mossy Foot Project to restore Aster and her daughter from the brink of death.

Mossy Foot Vocational Training

MF vocational training provides a means for patients to support themselves and their families. Here a barber who also works his farm near Kercheche stops farming and "opens shop" whenever someone needs a haircut.

One barber saved his earnings and bought medicine to treat MF patients. In his spare time he would go to their huts and treat them.

It is a common story in to hear of patients who have been helped by the Mossy Foot Project helping newer patients.
