Caleb Africa Director Chibuzor Eze announced a special medical mission is scheduled at the

family home town of Alayi to honor his younger brother, Jeff Eze, who was poisoned several

years ago. When Jeff died, Chibuzor assumed headship of Caleb Africa and has conducted

many outreaches to refugees and the sick but never as ambitious as the one planned for De-

cember 23 through 25. Caleb USA contributed $1,000 and the Nigeria city Enugu, and Caleb

Africa raised the additional

$2,000 for the outreach. The

Mayor of Enugu has pro-

claimed the date December 23

as Jeff Eze Memorial Day.

Many blind, deaf, and sick are

to be treated at the event.

Autism patients at Enugu

were targeted at the last out-

reach on November 29.

Caleb Africa donated 3 sets of computers, books, 2 wheel

chairs, food items, and other materials.to help alleviate the suf-

ferings of these children. Pictures show some of the events from

this worthy outreach, which

also reached widows and

other less privileged people .

Letter from the Director

The highlight of the winter season is New Year’s Eve when so many

Caleb volunteers conclude their Christmas season by donating time and

funds to complete candy packs. The Caleb trademark gifts have been

distributed in China, Russia, Serbia, Nigeria, Ghana, Belize, Honduras,

The Philippines, Nepal, India, and of course our first mission field, Ro-

mania. We so appreciate the help from so many in this annual event.

We average 10,000 candy packs each year, spreading the Gospel across

the globe to honor Our Savior. Well done, saints!
