MULTIPLYING DISCIPLES: Bringing True Healing

In 2019, Genesis Buinwi opened Faith Health Center with nothing more than a one-room clinic and a burden to serve his community and share the gospel. At first, he could only meet with one patient at a time. Today, he operates the leading healthcare facility in the area, serving nearly 80 patients per month.

The turning point came in 2025, when Genesis joined the Aspire Launchpad through Sinapis’ network partner, CMBC Africa in Cameroon.

“Sinapis was a silver lining in a dark cloud,” Genesis says. Aspire helped him understand how to apply sound accounting principles and improve his marketing. It also inspired him to invest more heavily in his staff. He realized scaling his business was not just personal ambition. It was a way God could use him to impact more lives.

As a result, the clinic grew from six to 15 employees and Genesis set out to disciple each one. He brought in a marketplace ministry pastor who opens each morning with devotions and prayer. This pastor currently invests in over 500 patients and caregivers at the clinic, often meeting with them in their homes. Many who would never walk into a church come to the clinic for prayer and guidance.

This love extends to how they handle payment. “We look at patients from the love of Christ. Though some of them may not be able to pay their bills, we take delight when they are healthy,” Genesis says. This principle has influenced many young women who came to the clinic seeking abortions to stay, receive care, and deliver healthy babies.

Kakeu Aida testifies, “When my mother fell seriously ill, we were overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. Faith Health Center received us with kindness and care. But what impacted me most went beyond the medical care. There were times of prayer which touched me deeply. As my mother began to improve, I also began to change.”

“My faith, which had grown weak over time, was renewed. I began praying and reconnecting with God again.” — Kakeu Aida, daughter of a Faith Health Center patient

Aspire also reframed Genesis’s understanding of profit. “In impacting lives, you make more profit. People trust you more, and they come to you more,” Genesis says. Despite giving freely, their revenue has more than tripled. “God gives the growth. Whatever we need, God has a way He will supply.”

Now Faith Health Center is mentoring three other healthcare facilities in the region on how to operate with excellence and biblical values. Each one plans to join Aspire. Genesis’s dream reaches further still: owning land where he can build a full-service hospital, and satellite campuses beyond Cameroon.

“Many people will give their lives to Christ and be discipled in the marketplace,” Genesis says.

He is proving it one patient at a time.
