Medical Team on Tuesday

Monday is traditionally our lightest day. It is usually a difficult day as we get settled in a routine and everyone finds their place of ministry.

This Monday was no different. The people were lined up on the opposite side of the school than I expected so we had to quickly rearrange assigned rooms.

We also had challenges because of missing luggage. We had a flight of people who did not get their luggage - meaning we did not have all the medical bags. But God performed miracles and multiplied the medicines like loaves and fishes.

We saw almost 600 patients in the medical portion; 250 people received dental care and 106 people were given glasses.

We do have a major prayer request. The autofractor, this is the machine that we used to read the needed prescriptions for a person's eyes, is broken. We have had to work without this machine. This has caused a lot of delays and frustration as we rely solely on eye charts and the intuitive skills of our optician.

My husband, Jim, has worked all day (Tuesday) trying to find a technician that may be able to fix it. Currently, it is in pieces in a hotel conference room. We really need prayer for a quick repair. This is a CRITICAL piece of equipment!

We estimate there were over 800 people in line waiting to see our doctors today. We were able to see over 525 of them, the dentist saw around 170 and 79 people received glasses today.

Many of the stations - intake, dental and other areas - are reporting many people have accepted the Lord over the last couple of days. So we are definitely making an impact on the body and the spirit.
