Matthew 28: 19-20

Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20

Tuesday clinic at La Bombo and Wednesday clinic at El Siete

I didn't have a chance to blog last night because we were so busy taking care of replenishing our inventory and finding time for supper. Tuesday we were at La Bomba and had a clinic there all day.  We saw 73 patients and gave out 22 prescription glasses and 43 readers.  The pastor said that there were 5 saved in Evangelism station.

Today we were at a church in El Siete.  We had some really appreciative patients who were helped a lot with their vision problems. One lady came in who was in a wheelchair. Her son brought her in to see us. We tested her vision and found out she had 20/180 vision. We found the right glasses for her and got her down to 20/40.  She was so excited and appreciative. Everyone wanted to give her a hug and let her know how blessed we are that we could help her. Moments like this are a blessing to us that we might make a small difference in someone's life.  We also had a number of other patients who came through who had vision problems that we could help. We saw an amazing 103 patients today and gave out a lot of glasses.  Some who came through were children and their vision was normal so they didn't need any glasses.

Thank you again to all our prayer warrior/rope holders. I asked for prayer Monday for our equipment that has given us some problems that we have never had before. We were able to fix the most important problem by talking to Holland Kendall in Louisville, Kentucky but the other ones are still a problem but not a big one. We have found ways to work around them and we can still use the equipment in the clinic. I know the stupid enemy is trying to stop us from ministering to these sweet people but he has lost. God is bigger than any of these problems and He is in control. Whatever happens, we know God is taking care of it. I praise Him for this and for sending me here to do this amazing and rewarding ministry.

Today's clinic:
Total patients - 103
