Wednesday
Another amazing day at the clinic. The weather was
very clear. We saw a total of 80 patients in the eye clinic total and gave out
a total of 34 prescription eyeglasses. The medical clinic has seen over 450 in
the last 3 days. Today we had one man come into the clinic who had 20/200
vision and we were able to correct his vision to 20/20. God provided the
perfect pair of prescription glasses in our inventory for him. Another man left
the near vision station with his new readers. He immediately went over to the
waiting area and sat down and started reading his Bible with a big smile on his
face. We were so excited to see his
excitement.
Evangelism:
Carlos, one of the patients in the medical clinic, asked Drew, who is one of
our new team members, a question in English. Drew stopped and asked him if he
was a Christian. He responded, “Trying to be”. He said he goes to church
occasionally with his wife but he has not been saved yet. He told Drew that he
didn’t think he was ready to get saved because there are so many things right
now that are enticing him. Drew’s response was that the devil paints a pretty picture
but all those things just lead to spiritual death. Drew also told him that this
will also lead to pain, guilt and shame.
He told Carlos that today is the day of salvation because tomorrow may
never come. Drew said he talked with
Carlos for a period of time and finally Carlos said that if today was the day
that God is calling him, he was ready. Drew and Marlen and Michelle prayed with
him and he accepted Christ as his Savior! One more for Jesus!! Praise God. This
is why we are here and experiences like this make a difference in our lives as
well.
Es usa cosa de Dios! It’s a God thing.
