Thursday
We have had another great weather day in Honduras. So many sweet and precious people have come through our clinics today. We have seen 88 patients in the eye clinic and gave out 31 prescription glasses. This was a total of 301 patients in one week which is more than we usually do in one week. God seemed to make time stand still again, as He has before, so we can see all the patients who came to us. We had a patient who was blind in one eye. He could not see anything on the far vision chart. After going through the retinomax station, we were able to give him a pair of glasses that corrected his far vision to 20/25. That was nothing but a miracle from God. He had the right person donate the perfect glasses at the right time. We had so many other miracles like this all day. The team went to Yellow Rock in the cloud forest a couple of years ago. We had a devotion about the Jabez prayer and we prayed for God to increase our territory as well when we went on the trip to Yellow Rock. We knew we were asking God to possibly bring in more patients but we knew He would make us ready. We saw 90 patients that day. We usually average around 60 to 65. We knew it was a miracle that we were able to see that many patients in one day. Yesterday was a miracle as well - to be able to see 88 in one day. We see miracles that God brings in our path every day.
Medical clinic saw over 150 patients today and over 600 for the week. Barbara said that a little girl fell out of a tree and she has a broken arm. Barbara said they put a splint on her arm and immobilized it. The team is taking her to the hospital for possible internal bleeding. Bucket, our team leader, thanked the local doctor who has been working with us this week for what she did for the little girl and what she has done all week. She responded, “It’s my joy; this is my world”. We are asking for prayer for this little girl. Besides her broken arm, she may have damage to her spleen. Another lady came through the clinic with a lump in one breast and she has asked for prayer for her healing.
Evangelism: There were 7 people saved today and one redicated their life to Christ. Gloria said that 4 got saved at one time as she was witnessing to them. One more for Jesus.
Friday, the team will return to La Ceiba and the Alpha team will prepare to go home on Saturday. Omega team will continue to Belfate to work with Dr. Dodson. We will then have a work day at Pastor Mario's church and finally a clinic day with Leonard Jones at the school near his Casa Ciela Orphanage. We are excited to see what God will do with our team again this week.
Es una cosa de Dios! It's a God thing!
