#6 - Medical clinic for villagers

<Medical Clinic - May 2013>

It was a very fruitful day that I (Amy) was able to see the medical clinic in person.  The weather was hot in the morning but luckily there was some shower rain in the afternoon.   Villagers came to the school site around 7am to register, i.e. they get a number and wait.  1, 2, 3, ... to 71!!!  There were 71 adults and 6 children waiting to see Dr. Tom.  

While Dr. Tom and 3 of his assistants were busy in the medical clinic, our local team also busy in evangelizing the villagers in the waiting area, as well as in the treatment room.  Praise the Lord that 10 villagers came to Christ yesterday!  An old couple also told our local team that this was their first time in their life that heard about the gospel.

The work of the Medical Clinic among the villagers is very important because many of them cannot afford to see the doctor in the near town.

• Pray for us that we will able to find a doctor for the next medical clinic around July since Dr. Tom will be going to the U.S. for several months
• Pray that more villagers will open their heart to the gospel
• Pray for the local team’s wisdom to follow up with the villagers for weekly bible study and strengthen their faith

Some villagers have never heard of the gospel before

Despite the heat, villagers still came and waited to see the doctor

It is such a blessing to see that our local team is able to share the gospel to the villagers
