Opened for Business

Many families came

The doors of the medical clinic opened this morning at 9 AM. We were ready! We had planned, practiced and prepared. We just didn't count on large quantities of people pouring into the camp so early. The bus had not even left for the pick up and there were about 36 children who came from the local feeding program. They were not really in need of medical treatment. They came for the Good News Club and the gifts. They were closely followed by a bus load of people, and many others who lived nearby walked in. It did not take us long to get backlogged. We didn't plan on that. But the team forged forward determined to work through the crowds as best we could. Soon we settled into a rhythm and for the next 10 hours the doctor treated 126 people. Bob (Babo), an urgent care nurse, shared that a typical day at his medical clinic in the US sees 30 patients.

The Good News Club worked with many children and adults. They were able to share the gospel with 28 individuals as well as share Bible Stories and present a drama. Everyone who attended enjoy it.

After dinner we had a focus meeting where team members were able to process what was done and how to make it work even better tomorrow. We are all grateful to our doctor, John Kelly. He forged through the entire day without hardly a break. Hopefully he will sleep well tonight. He earned it!
