Mobile Clinic

There have now been several meetings about the mobile clinic. It is still all very theoretical and void of funding but it's exciting nevertheless. Andrew and the Pollocks met with a doctor last week who is a Christian and is prepared to let foreigners practice under his license number! He is also happy to let some of us see a mobile clinic in operation.

His big caution was that we would be prepared for how God would work through it. He talked about the people who came to know Christ as a direct result of one campaign. Andrew and Jonny were unsure whether he said it was 500 or 50 (slightly different!) but the church where the new believers went wasn't prepared for the influx and sadly wasn't able to keep them.

Whether 5 or 5000 come to know Christ through such a campaign we will rejoice with the angels in heaven and we will be as ready as we can possibly be!

Continue to pray that God will open doors for this project is His time. Praise God for the health professionals who are willing to give their time and expertise. The idea would be to have consultations going on simultaneously with an evangelism program, perhaps one-on-one conversations or a kids' program or open-air type event. We'll wait on God's timing and guidance for each step.

Hey guys, this is really exciting stuff. We'll look forward to seeing how it goes and learning from your successes and in the unlikely event that there are any mistakes, we'll learn from those as well. :)

Peace
