“Doctor” Ibrahim
In Zanzibar, Ibrahim arrived as a health worker rather than a pastor — a strategic choice that opened doors in a non‑Christian region. Through health programs, personal ministry, and the trusted reputation of the Adventist clinic, he helped grow the church from seven members to 160 before leaving the island. Today, more than 1,000 Adventists worship in Zanzibar, a legacy tied to the clinic’s ongoing mission.
Lord of the Sabbath
On the island of Zanzibar, Ezekiel discovered the Sabbath truth through a book, Voice of Prophecy lessons, and the patient ministry of a literature evangelist. His studies — and Moses’s confirming dreams — led both men to baptism, becoming the first Adventists baptized on the island in many years.
Breaking the Light Through
ADRA’s AFRICA project in Tanzania supports children with albinism and their mothers through inclusive education, health care, and livelihood training—breaking stigma, restoring dignity, and helping communities choose compassion over fear.
Miracle Clinic
A visit to an Adventist clinic changed the life of Zanzibar’s chief minister — and opened the door for the Seventh‑day Adventist Church to establish the Zanzibar Dispensary in 1988. Nearly 40 years later, the clinic still serves the community, and this quarter’s Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help replace its aging buildings with modern facilities.
Gift From God
In Burundi, a young mother named Jeanne found healing and hope at the Buganda Dispensary after other clinics failed to diagnose her illnesses. Through months of compassionate care, home visits, and prayer, she and her daughter recovered — and Jeanne chose baptism, embracing the faith of those who ministered to her.
Soccer, Spleen, and Salvation
In Kinshasa, 12‑year‑old Patrick needed emergency surgery after a soccer injury, but his family couldn’t afford hospital fees. At the Adventist Clinic of Kinshasa, doctors operated immediately without demanding payment, saving his life and leading his mother to give her heart to Jesus.
Brave Island Girl
In Zanzibar, a teenage girl named Jesse began volunteering at the Adventist clinic where her mother found healing. Surrounded by kindness and faith, she eventually chose baptism despite family opposition — becoming one of the island’s first Adventists and later a nurse at the same clinic that shaped her life.
The God Who Heals
In Zanzibar, little Asha suffered repeated epileptic attacks while her mother sought help from traditional healers. But at the Adventist clinic, prayer and proper medical care brought immediate healing — a miracle that spread across the island and drew many to the place “where God heals.”
The Clinic That Feels Like Home
The Zanzibar Seventh‑day Adventist Dispensary provides trusted, compassionate care in a low‑income community, and the upcoming Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help renovate the aging facility so it can continue serving patients with dignity, safety, and Christ‑centered love.
The Clinic That Feels Like Home
