It was another great day at the clinic. We saw 210 patients today! That means about 560 people were treated for medical problems and 560 people were given an opportunity to respond to the gospel. These people were also made very aware of a small Baptist church in their area that can help them in their lives. What an awesome ministry this has been!
We also l
earned how difficult it can be to see patients that you just cannot help. One lady rode on a burrow for 4 hours to come to the clinic. She apparently has a brain tumor. There is no indigent care for such cases in Honduras, so this lady, as well as scores of others, will be left to die without help. We have to realize that we can help alot of people here physically, but th
ere are many that we cannot help. We can at least pray for these folk and offer them a hope found only in Jesus.Yes, my driving went well. I did have a cow run into my driver's side mirror as the herd passed through the church "parking lot," but there was no damage.
Tomorrow is a day of worship and rest for us. We are really exhausted from the 100 degree heat and dry conditions that we work in. We will get up to a home-cooked breakfast and arrive at church by 9:00. We plan to go out to eat tomorrow and have a day of rest by traveling down to see the coastline not far from here. Then we will return to Choluteca for supper and then nightly devotions and bed. We begin the new clinic location on Monday morning.

Hello! I guess you are already at church or on your way as I am posting this. I was unable to attend church today as I am working. But I feel like I have been to church watching you all share the love of Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that love knows no boundaries and to see the people and especially the children reaching out to you and hugging you is especially heart warming. They have fallen in love with strangers!
Enjoy your day of rest! May God truly bless it!
