Weds--Clinic Day 3

We ended our day today with a mid week church service, and the local community sang as they each came up and greeted us individually with a hug and/or a handshake.  It was an overwhelming scene, especially since it was another "standing room only crowd."    Some of the families in attendance had walked three hours through the mountains to help with the clinic today, and had been on site since 6 am.  When we left the grounds around 7 pm, those families were still going strong, but did catch a ride back with us on the bus. . . .

It is an amazing thing to witness the dedication to each other, their churches, and God.  Once again, we are restored by what they give back to us, no matter what  as we might share with them.  There were many new believers brought into the fold again today, including a 12 year old girl who made the committment to Christ today.  Our interpreter staff is so dedicated to the purpose of this trip, and has made our jobs easier in a dozen ways, not the least of which is helping us to pray with our patients.  

Please continue to pray for wisdom for our physicians, evangelists, and leadership team, adequate supplies in our pharmacy and eye clinic, and continued good health with our team.  As God continues to provide, we continue to minister and be ministered to. . . . . good night & God bless.
