Praise God for the things he has done........

Last week I asked for prayer for our day with the doctors at the Rio, Dos Rio and the Cadereyta. God is so good and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for lifting that day up in prayer. That day we saw people from our staff, about 10 doctors/nurses, church people, our own children, friends, and teens from our Hope program gathered together we went to serve the people of three different places where people live in need. God used us to meet people's physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We had doctors and translators to find out the needs of these people. They were examined and given medication if needed. If they needed more, communication was started about how to meet those needs. They then were moved on to others who asked if they needed prayer. For one women it was prayer for her surgery to repair a hernia that without that surgery it would mean death and leaving her three small girls behind as orphans. For another man, he had dealt with chronic medical problems and had heard the gospel. It was this day that God moved in his heart to except Jesus as his Lord as Savior. Still for a 15 year old, she was facing the fact of being pregnant and what that meant for her. After prayer, people were given the book of John or Mark and also feed tomalis. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday. I joined two physicans with a smaller group and went to the Rio and Dos Rio, while my husband and kids went to the Cadereyta. Our tasked varied as I was taking blood pressures, praying and transporting people from one place to another. Greg helped set up, talked with the crowd and got any necessary items for the doctors. Our boys Ben, Luke and Mark played soccer with the kids who were waiting to be seen. At the end of the day, they chose to leave their ball behind in order to let the kids continue playing. Thank you again for your prayers and support. I think all who were involved were touched by the Lord, those who served and those being served. As usual I think those of us who came to served seemed to walk away with more.
