Our first full day of having the clinics open, a VBS lesson taught, and a day of laying block on the perimeter wall is in the books! It was a great day, and we are grateful in so many ways for the progress we continue to see in our partnership with the ministry of Christ the King. Check out these highlights from our teams:
VBS
- The theme the VBS Team is utilizing this week is Team Jesus with today's focus on Caleb and Joshua. The children made t-shirts that said, "Ekip Jezia", which means, Team Jesus. They added a cross to the front of the t-shirt design and had the children write their favorite number on the back. It was very cool to see the children wearing their shirts with pride.
- When we arrived at Christ the King this morning, we learned that the children were not in session this week. They aren't in school because they observed the visit of the Kings--Epiphany! This required our VBS team to exercise one of our foundations--flexibility! The team pulled together and did a great job with the children who were there.
- A blessing of Christ the King school not being in session is that we were able to invite all of the kids who live in the area to join in hearing the story and making t-shirts. An added bonus to be sure!
- The prayer of the VBS team is for their continued flexibility, for smooth flow, for continued energy and for their team to present God's Word on the children's level as they share God's love with them.
Eyeglass Team
- This team started the journey as novices who were a little apprehensive. After one full day of operations they are now confident and experienced.
- They are especially grateful for being able to help each other out, even on other teams.
- The prayer for the eyeglass team is for Madame Nomil, a member of Christ the King. She shares the Gospel and prays with each patient, and was able to receive a pair of eyeglasses today to her great delight.
Construction Team
- The Construction team highlights were all the progress on the wall and the flexibility and support from each member of the team. They built about 200 feet of wall.
- The prayer for the construction team is for he men's (hired workers) salvation and the spirituality and leadership in that area.
- They are also praying for their own strength and energy.
Medical Team
- The medical team is grateful that this clinic has been one of the most efficient and able to see so many patients (about 140 people).
- They were able to help a couple of mother's hear their unborn baby's heartbeats.
- One of the medical team members is dentist. He saw a patient today who had an abscess. He was able to extract the 2 affected teeth and offer a great deal of relief.
- The prayer from this team is for God's continued healing to happen in the lives of their patients.
We were not able to get a picture posted from the Eyeglass team so we will allow them 2 photos in tomorrow's blog.
Blessings! Stay warm!
