We just finished our second medical camp. A remote village setting with half Hindus half Muslims. Lots of eager excited kids and adults pushing themselves in front of the line. Part way thru we heard a mob shouting loudly and after a few moments were able to figure out that Patsy was in the middle of the pack trying to hand out toothbrushes! She handled herself just fine.
Glynn was a bit sick at first so stayed on the bus for a while but was able to join us eventually. I did fluoride treatments again and Rob dealt drugs. We abruptly closed up shop (at 6 15 and boarded the bus to a crowd of friend waving and thanking. This is the part of "being Jesus" I had not expected. We will later meet with pastors for whom being like Jesus means risk, persecution and taking up a cross. Today we were Jesus' hands of healing compassion and enjoyed some of the gratitude of the people he surely experienced as well.
We are on the way home now -- a 3 hour bumpy honk filled bus ride. Our team is beat but upbeat and excited to be used. 10 teeth pulled, many meds and medical help and lots of smiles hugs and pictures with friends we only hope to see again thru the ministry of CICM's influence leading then to Christ.
Ben and Rob.
