What a blessing today was! We participated in the mobile medical clinic in the community of Adaklu Waya. This is about an hours drive from Senyo and Augustine’s’ house. On the way we drove by a beautiful mountain covered with cliffs, rocky outcroppings, and huge exotic trees. The medical clinic was held in a building adjacent to a school, which was in session. About 250 people were already waiting for this free clinic when we arrived. The two doctors and several nurses arrived shortly there after. We also meet with the chief and the queen mother at their house nearby.

The Doctors starting seeing patients at about 9am and didn’t stop until everyone was seen near 6pm, more than 260 patients, including the chief himself. The community has no access to a hospital or clinic, so everyone was very blessed to receive the care. Some received referrals to the hospital. Most received medicine, much of which was donated in Tucson and brought in suitcases by the team. Before the start of the clinic they also received group biblical teaching and encouragement from Senyo, and health training from a nurse, who taught on how to avoid sickness, and how to treat some common sicknesses.

It rained a great deal nearby during the afternoon. We could see the lightening and feel the breeze from the storm, which was a cool relief from the heat; but it didn’t come to interrupt the clinic. The line and nurse stations were outside and on the porch. God appeared to protect the clinic from the Storm. Driving home in the twilight and dark, on muddy roads in the Land Cruiser, we saw just how much it rained nearby. We just arrived at the house and the power is still off from the storm. We wish everyone who supports this ministry, and reads these accounts, great blessings.

We are privileged to be here as part of the hands and feet of Jesus!
