Today our clinic was in Buagyi, just down the road from where we are staying. After some worship music this morning, I led the morning devotion on longing for heaven and being satisfied with our purpose to make disciples here on earth - as this is not our home. I shared from Philippians 3:20-4:1, 2 Cor 4:16-5:10, Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 63:1-5 and isaiah 55:2; also the song "Blessings" by Laura Story.
After devo, we walked over to the clinic, which was also inside a school building. Each day we have gotten more efficient with our set-up and clinic flow. We saw 250 people during our 7 hrs of clinic today! It was the hottest day yet and we worked hard to stay cool while we saw all of the patients. We ran out of a few medicines, but since we were so close to the compound, we had someone go back and retrieve the meds for future clinic days. We are praying our supplies will be enough for future days. We gave out several bibles today and Jonathan used the Children's bible and the ten commandments game in his sharing. Jonathan also had the chance to share the gospel with a man who believed that Jesus and Mohamed were the same. As we left clinic, the kids were telling us thank you over and over.
On the way back to the compound, a few of us stopped at the local pharmacy that Bennett manages. It was interesting to see what they kept in stock, etc. He was quite a knowledgable man and was happy to show off his work.
Shower, dinner with rice, beans, and a little bit of chicken. We again sat under the mango tree all night and discussed the day, the people we met, the interesting cases we saw, etc.
Emily came down with a GI bug today and had to get some IV fluids. It was hard to see her not feel well. As soon as Jefferies heard about Emily, he and the other men surrounded her mattress on the porch and prayed over her with confidence that she was here to do Gods work and would recover. It was such a beautiful picture.
Patrick and Debby also started not feeling well today, so we are all praying for strength for our team, so that we can continued to be used by God for his purposes!
