WE ARE IN PERU!! Finally, we made it. And the word to describe the 1st day: grateful. God provided all we needed a day before the trip.
Not much time, so let me give you a quick update. Jon has dewormed a total of 153 animals already all over the city of the Lamay (thats in only 2 days). The farmers did recieve dewormer a few years ago from the government, so they knew what it was, and were very thankful. Jon was asked to stay for dinner, or come back for dinner by several families. One man said, "If you ever need a place to stay you will always be welcome in my home". It is AWESOME! He is talking to the people about Camino de Vida, and Pastor Willy´s son has been traveling with him to translate. God´s hand is working.
We have seen about 100 patients each day at the clinic. We expect many more tomorrow as it is our last day in Lamay. The church was packed out on Fri. night after our clinic and 12 people came to Christ. Peruvians leading Peruvians to Christ.....incredible! We also had 20 salvations on Friday and several on Saturday in the prayer stations. The healing stories I have are incredible. People who were blind from glaucoma and others who couldn´t hear from constant infections in their ears over the years.......came back into the clinic to find us to tell us they had been HEALED in the prayer station. In the message Luke 9:11 it says ¨"those who needed healing, He healed". that has very much been the case here. When we have a patient with a problem we can´t help with, we write on the priscription line: "PRAYER" and their specific problem. That way they are sure to be pointed to the prayer station after they get their meds in the Pharmacy. We´re praying in the clinic too. God is working miracles.
I gave all the students the Enjoy Being pins my mom got for our team from Mary M. and told them to remember how amazing this place is when times get rough. To just enjoy being on this journey in Peru. These people are so deserving of medical care and to know the saving Grace of Jesus, and though some speak Quechua and must be double translated into spanish then english.....there is no denying that they are seeing the Love of Christ in us, and thats what we came for.
Love you all!
