I'm convinced this has been my best summer of ministry
 |
| me, Ashlee (intern), Helena (volunteer) |
It's crazy we only have two weeks left of teams and have just finished our tenth week of summer ministry!!
*10 weeks of starting every morning in devotion with 9-11 people (4 participants, 1-2 interns, a
volunteer, 2-3 assistants)
*10 weeks of participants walking alongside my patients
*10 weeks of participants helping me carry medicine, set up clinics
*10 weeks of census taking
*10 weeks of brochure making (investigating commonly found community illnesses and researching, translating and incorporating that information into an easily understood patient pamphlet)
*10 weeks of patients spoiling us with delicious lunches
*10 weeks of cross-cultural learning, prayer and community development
*10 weeks of discovering a calling to medicine and going deeper in following Christ
I have been absolutely amazed by God's provision and answer to prayer requests before I've even made them. We have had nurses, pharmaceutical workers, engineers, pre-med students and participants that are just overly open to learning, sharing and jumping in wherever needed. I know come September I'm going to feel quite bare as I head into the communities alone with my two Dominican assistants.
Thank you to everyone who has blessed my site abundantly with prayer, donations and love this summer!!
