We
had our first day of clinics today on Roatan. We have seen a total of 72
patients and gave out only 17 prescription glasses. Many of the people who came through the
clinic are members of the church we are working in. When they went to
evangelism station, they stated that they are Christians and attend this church
regularly. There were a few who said they wanted to rededicate their lives to
Jesus because they had walked away from that relationship with Him and wanted
to make a new commitment.
The
Florence team that we are working with had a feeding kitchen upstairs which fed
250 children. The children came after school at noon. They sang songs and
blessed the food. Their meal consisted
of chicken and rice and frozen kool ade drink.
Tomorrow’s
activities in the feeding kitchen will consist of painting and construction.
Pray that the food will continue to nourish the children. The name for the
feeding kitchen is Rebecca’s Table. They do the feeding kitchen two to three
times per week serving a hot meal to each child. The funds are provided by
First United Methodist Church in Florence, Alabama. This is the tenth year in operation for the
feeding kitchen.
Today
was a very productive day even though we had to set up the clinic this morning
instead of last night but everything worked out great. Can’t wait to see what
tomorrow will bring.
