We have tasted a bit of the pressing of the multitude that was spoken of in the Gospels. Our medical clinics on Friday and Saturday went well through the day and then at the end the crowds of people want care began to press in hoping to see the doctor. My western mind can not imagine wanting something so desperately that not even a uniformed officer would move the crowd. The doctors see patients for 8 hours, sometimes 70 or 80 each, can only work so much. Even after we closed the door we would walk through the crowd looking for the very sick. The child with a high fever, the simple ringworm that a tube of Whitefield cream out the window of our pharmacy, anything to get that last patient. I felt heartless saying no to so many. We prayed for them all, loved them and touched as many as we could, but still the crowd pressed in.

The team is amazing. In Amagoro town we converted a simple wood structure with a bare interior in to a functional medical clinic using rattan mats for screening in about 40 minute with just a few simple instructions. What a blessing to be with such a dedicated group. We have 3 young ladies who are just beginning their journey in to the medical world, Brie is just beginning her PA training, Maddie who is beginning her nursing education and Emily just out of High School and entering the nursing field. Each of them are passionate for Christ, dedicated to service and willing to do what it takes to get the job done. All of them are wise beyond their years.

We have shared many laughs as a team, cried and prayed for patients and have given 119%. Thank you for your continued prayers.
