Anamed Workshop at Crossroads pt 1

Dr Keith Lindsey at Crossroads

The Anamed workshop was attended by at least 60 people. It started with a devotional led by Nelson Moyo from Malawi. Some things he mentioned is that God is our provider, full of love and knows everything. He shared a few scriptures:

Genesis 1:29 “And God said, ‘See I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.’”


Ezekiel 47:12 “Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”


The fruit and leaves of the trees are given to us by God for food and medicine.

The purpose of the workshop was to inspire people in Kezi with Natural Medicine and learn about Artemisia Annua, Aloe Vera, Lemon Grass, Moringa Olefera, Pawpaw and Grain Amaranth. They learnt their uses and how to apply them to various ailments.
