KETTERING, Ohio — Bilal Momin watched as one family member after another succumbed to a genetic and degenerative kidney disease. In 2006, Momin, the associate minister of Freedom-Hill Baptist Church in Dayton, thought he was next.

But, as Momin tells it, one of his flock in the congregation approached him one day and said, “God told me to give you a kidney.”

Nationally, 31 percent of 107,000 awaiting donations are black.
