Medical Outreaches

Just got back from 3 day medical trip away in the big city 3 hours away.  One of our teen neighbors injured his back doing tumbling tricks. He had instant swelling, and some numbness and tingling to his legs.  Got him to the hospital and Pastor Ben his daughter and Steven came by to visit and prayed for healing.  Actually we all had been praying a lot for healing.  But it was at that moment that the numbness and tingling went away.  We got him transferred and had the appropriate diagnostic imaging, and he has a fracture to L1 L2, but praise God no paralysis.  When I go with a patient, there is a lot of waiting involved, talking to doctors and advocating for the best care we can get them.  There are other patients a round and many people we come into contact with during these medical trips, always many opportunities to be a light and try to stir up conversations about Christ.  During this I was overseeing 4 other patients, which is quite common.

Here is Anjo and we had many opportunities to talk about the Lord and Him calling Anjo to himself.  I am wiped. Glad to be home. But really glad Anjo is ok.
