Our clinic began this morning at about 9:00 am. The assistant to the Director of Public health for the State officially opened the clinic. Ladies from the village treated us to a ceremonial dance which was later joined by several team members.
Our doctors officially treated 149 patients today. There were many cases of malaria. But I’ll not attempt to describe what they did. Suffice it to say – they treated all manner of illness. We prayed for the healing of many people. We saw God do instantaneous and miraculous things – as supported by immediate testimony. Healing and deliverance were the norm and not the exception. I prayed for many people who were troubled by demonic attacks in the night. God freed them and gave them peace. Please pray that each of these people will maintain their freedom in Christ.
Two of the local evangelists joined me for part of the day along with my translator Imoh. It was a joy ministering with these guys. Their names are Pastor Life and Pastor Peace. We prayed most of the day. What time spent not praying was spent in a mini Pastor’s Conference. The time spent encouraging and listening to the pastors and other men of God was one of the most enjoyable things I do.
Our medical team runs like a well-oiled machine. An ant hill is less efficient: triage to doctors to pharmacy – with a stop somewhere in the mix for prayer. It is hard work and rather intense. Please pray for every team member to be sharp and at the top of their game. We are treating the whole man. Each night we rest and then go at it again.
