Today we put 26 people through our clinic and have quite a few people who are eager to return tomorrow. There is such a unique need in this country for physical therapy. I am floored by the variety alone. There was a line waiting for us by the time we came in. There were patients from 13 months old to those in their seventies. There were patients who had to be carried through our doors. There were patients with strokes, developmental delays, mysterious back pain, gun shot wounds and musculoskeletal issues of all kinds. They all need therapy. We have been so privileged to be the ones who get to help provide for these needs.
God is beginning to open hearts! So many brothers and sisters in Christ have walked through our doors. Many have asked us specific requests, asking us to pray for their spiritual growth. Today I encountered some who told me today they believe in God and believe He is good, but they haven't accepted Christ yet. Please pray for these hearts in particular! Some of these patients are returning tomorrow to receive more physical care from us, and we will have a captive audience. Pray that this would be the week that their eyes would finally be opened to their spiritual need!
I have faith that each member of this team has been handpicked for a reason. I also believe that God has hand chosen each man, woman, and child who walks into our clinic. He picked out our translators and the pastors in this community. He is over this country, this city, this mission trip, and each individual life. We know He is able to orchestrate situations where hearts will grow and lives will be impacted, and it has been wonderful to see what He has done this far.
Please be faithful to keep following our stories and to participate through prayer! God works through the prayers of his children, we need you!
